don't let the martians take me


I found this book at the library more than a year ago and it stuck in my head for a long time.  It was one of those that I intended to buy, and for Mother's Day I treated myself-finally.  They have made an entire movie in the time it took me to decide to buy the book.
Anyway, I love picture books, probably more than my daughter does, and this is prime example of why.
Pages of artwork punctuated by a rough black and white sketchy style and a story that has me tearing up by page 28 and sobbing by page 38 and I still want to read it again and again.
