Summary: The Marshmallow Martians’ leader, G.L.O.W. (Galactic Learning Online Wizard), introduces them to P.E.E.P. (Polite Extraordinary Earth Portal), which can transport them down to Earth. Due to a faulty transmission, the Martians believe that the Earth phrase “show and tell” is actually “show and smell,” and they plan a show and smell session for when they return from their trip to Earth. An amusement park is chosen as the best place to collect smells, and the marshmallows collect odors from onions, shoes, burps, and a skunk. Back on Planet Moop, the other marshmallows enjoy the show and smell presentation. Includes instructions for drawing one of the characters (Snug). 72 pages; grades 1-3.
Pros: Fans of Pizza and Taco, Narwhal and Jelly, and other early comics will get a big kick out of the Marshmallow Martians’ antics.
Cons: If the marshmallows live on Planet Moop, why are they called Martians and not Moopians?
