If you enjoy a book about space, dumb but funny aliens and flying meatballs then you would enjoy Hazel Nutt, Alien Hunter by David Elliot. The story tells of a girl whose name is Hazel Nutt. She goes into space with a dog and her two headed first mate Igor. The illustrator, True Kelley, makes weird aliens and wacko drawings giving it an extra boost of humor and excitement. I would suggest this book to a person who enjoys a giggle, funny surprises, or even just as a read aloud to a child. This book I think would be good for all ages. This was different from many books I’ve ever read and a joy to read, I think any and everyone who reads this book will want to read it again.
