I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review. 

This is a short story about a long car ride to visit the grandparents and what a couple of kids do to pass the time. They have a fabulous imagination and turn the car ride in a space adventure where they encounter some aliens on the way. The imagine where the aliens are going, and consider whether they will like earth and even question whether they have an alien dog. It's probably a better way to occupy a kid's time on a long car trip than giving them a screen to play with (and I'm not hating on using screens because my family did that when the kids were little because it works). 

The illustrations were colorful and fun, especially once they started talking about the aliens they encountered. I think this is a book I could read a few times before I got tired of it, especially if I noticed it helping my kids use their imaginations more to occupy themselves considering our screen habit. Overall I give this book 4.12 out of 5 stars. - Katie
