Invader from Mars: The Truth About Babies
A hilarious new sibling story that ends with an out-of-this-world twist, for fans of Wolfie the Bunny.
One afternoon, Micah comes home to find trouble taped to the refrigerator door. His parents claim it’s a picture of his soon-to-be baby sister, but Micah is sure it’s a Martian.
When the baby arrives, his parents insist that she’s perfectly precious―but Micah’s no fool. He knows Martians do not come in peace . . .
But in a laugh-out-loud Show-and-Share day at school, Micah learns how special a baby sister can really be.

3/10/2024 ~ Some humor, but perhaps not as much as the publisher promotes - the older cousin ("the smartest person I know") - tells the main character all about alien babies. I kept waiting for some big reveal in which the sarcasm/humor/disinformation is corrected. I also thought the timing was off - the "show and share" at school seemed imminent while mom was pregnant, but the baby looked like a toddler when the big day came. Also, how did the baby vaporize the child in class? and how did this suddenly make the main character realize the charms of a new sibling?
The vivid illustrations, multi-racial family, and black cat save the book.
