Marshmallow Martians: Museum Sleepover (Family Comic Friday)


Enjoy a night of adventure as the Marshmallow Martians participate in a sleepover at the Museum of Natural History! The intergalactic buddies have entered a contest where they're supposed to find something unexpected. With none of the other contestants visiting the planet Earth for the competition, the fun loving aliens plan to visit a museum to find maybe a dinosaur or a unicorn in order to win the game! Hopefully, whatever they find will be gigantic because they've got a giant display box to fill!

'Museum Sleepover' is the third book in the Marshmallow Martians series. Created by the husband and wife team of Deanna Kent and Neil Hooson, this 2024 graphic novel from Random House Graphic is a book big on adventure and imagination. 

Reviews and press suggests that this series is ideal for kids ages 5-8. However, there are a lot of big words in this book. I'm thinking maybe those aged 9 and 10 years old might enjoy this book a little more than a younger reader. There's quite a few names of certain thunder lizards that are quite the mouthful. However, I also know of a little girl not older than 5 or 6 and she loves to tell you that her favorite dinosaur is the Pachycephalosaurus. So what do I know???

The book is colorfully illustrated in a manner that will capture the attention of emerging readers. If the young readers in your life fall in love with these silly space explorers in this book, the good news is there's 2 more volumes of adventures on earth out there to discover. Entertaining while being educational, there's also an art lesson in the back of the book which teaches readers how to draw G.L.O.W., the computer companion of the Marshmallow Martians

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
