To activate space portal, lift here Cover Image Book

To activate space portal, lift here / transmission brought to you by Antoinette Portis of planet Earth.

Portis, Antoinette, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

"Before you lift the cover, be sure you're ready to meet Zrk and Blrg. They're not so different from you--but to them, you're the alien! After their initial shock at seeing you through the portal, they're eager to see what kind of teeth you have, compare home planets, and maybe team up for a prank. You met as aliens, but by the time the portal closes, maybe you'll be friends. To Activate Space Portal, Lift Here is an interactive treat sure to delight young galactic explorers. Antoinette Portis's bright lines and bold colors pair perfectly with humor that also offers a subtle message of acceptance. Whether for bedtime or circle time, this is a portal you'll want to open!" -- Provided by publisher.
