Bloop wants to be emperor of Planet XYZ, but he’s made too many bloopers in his life for that. First, he’s sent to conquer Earth. It’s clear that dogs are in charge there, and so his takeover shouldn’t take too long. What happens when he gets there, however, isn’t what he expected. He begins to love his humans, and he actually wants to stay with them on Earth! This is a fun and funny twist on how things are on Earth between humans and dogs. The illustrations are fun, colorful and help add extra humor to the story.

Recommended for readers 4 and up. Reviewed by Jessie Trafton, Skidompha Library, Damariscotta, ME
