"Creep out your 10-and-up children in classic fashion with The Young Oxford Book of Aliens... Collects stories from the likes of Arthur C. Clarke and Philip K. Dick on what creatures from another planet might look, sound and act like. As the table of contents says - the truth is in here,
somewhere."--Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer

both adults and young readers to relish."--Children's Literature
