On the day Shirley had invited all of her relatives to dinner and Moe, her husband, was pleasantly tinkering in the yard, a flying saucer quietly landed next to their toolshed.
Shirley and Moe. Just a regular couple from Bellmore. Today, all they are expecting is a nice, quiet dinner with a few cousins. But what do they get? Spacemen! From outer space!
They don't know it yet, but with a touch of human (and alien) kindness and a heaping bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, the galaxy is about to get a little bit smaller.

      ``Beware of spacemen bearing blenders'' might well be the moral of this droll offering, in which aliens examine Suburbia, USA--and vice versa. Ages 3-7.

      This edition features a larger trim size and new colorization of the lively cartoon illustrations. When a spaceship lands next to the tool shed, Shirley invites the alien visitors to dinner. By the time the spacemen return, the house is surrounded by soldiers and police, but Shirley's trust in the face of hysteria reveals the spacemen's good intentions. Shirley's everyday reactions to the outsize events are hilarious.
