Company's Going

This charming and humorous chapter book introduces Shirley and Moe, an ordinary couple whose lives take an extraordinary turn when aliens, impressed by Shirley's cooking, invite them to cater a massive wedding on planet Nextoo. The story explores themes of adventure, overcoming apprehension, and the joy of new experiences through a delightfully absurd premise. Perfect for ages 4-11, it's a fantastic read-aloud that sparks imagination about space, aliens, and the unexpected joys of saying "yes" to the unknown, even if it involves a long trip in a tiny spaceship.

So later, after a nice dinner at Shirley and Moe's, after all the soldiers, pilots, Marines, FBI men, and the cousins had said their good-byes, the visitors from outer space made a momentous announcement. There's going to be a wedding at Nextoo! And who, in all the vast stretches of the universe, has been asked to cater this celestial affair? Shirley and Moe from Bellmore.
