Both the author and illustrator are on my list of "oooh they did a thing I'm going to try it". Have yet to be disappointed.
Henry P. Baloney concocts an excellent excuse for being late to school, again. He manages to work in words from a variety of earth languages (not to mention a transposition and a spoonerism). The interstellar artwork and creative storytelling are sure to grab the attention of Earthling children.
