happy grandson June 19, 2008
I haven't yet read this book but I got it for my 10-year-old grandson Max because of the book's gloriously silly title. Max likes fantasy and he adored "Smekday", so I scored a big hit.

This is funny -- great for kids 8+ ish, although there are some serious themes that might disturb the more sensitive... aliens do kill people (and each other) but there's nothing graphic. Bits are absolutely hilarious, my kids love it, and I've enjoyed reading it to them more than almost anything else. I'd enjoy reading it myself...
Wonderfullly fantastic. March 18, 2008
This book is like 400+ pages of Christmas. There is a present to open on every page.
Celebrating Smekday! February 12, 2008
Adam Rex's THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY is a great read-alone and read-aloud, because parents will love it just as much as kids. The author takes sly digs at human and alien culture, and the contrast between the two is frequently hilarious. Tip and J.Lo's friendship is one for the ages!
Wicked Funny January 13, 2008
I bought this at a bookfair because I loved Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich, and so did my kids. I can't wait for them to read this, it is so funny. Narrated by Gratuity "Tip" Tucci as a time capsule assignment, the story follows her quest to find her mother (who was abducted by the Boov, the aliens) in Florida, and then in Arizona. On her way she befriends a renegade Boov named J. Lo, and together they plot to protect Earth from another, scarier, race of aliens.
This book is full of funny digs at our society. I love how the alien is looking for Tip at the casino and he describes it as a "large, offensively colored building where humans who are bad at math give away their money."
