Walker kicks off this multi author chapter-book series with a breezy, humorous lesson in honesty that never stoops to didacticism. The other three volumes address similarly weighty lessons—lying, shyness, bullying, and responsibility – all with a multicultural cast of Everykids. A good choice for those new to chapters.

This delightful chapter book series, written for young readers ages 6–9, excites interest and rides gusts of humor and innovation to encourage kids to rethink all they experience from an alien perspective. Winner of the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award, the How to Be an Earthling series challenges readers to think outside the box while embracing differences and reaching high for more enlightenment.

This book has short chapters and moves quickly through layers of action to keep reader interest high. Both this book and the series would be good additions for collections that need additional early chapter books. Recommended.

Young readers are going to love this series! Spork is a funny and unexpected main character.

I’m so glad Spork landed on Earth! His misadventures are playful and sweet, and I love the clever wordplay!

Kids will love reading about Spork. Parents, teachers, and librarians will love reading this series aloud to those same kids.
