Today is evidently children's self-help day on my blog and this is the second young children's story aimed at getting them motivated and giving them ideas. Sharee is an alien who not only lives on a sun, but who lives on a sun which has a skateboard track running around it like the rings of Saturn, but not like the rings of Neptune, which are frankly just weird, or of Uranus, which are hardly any better. This gas giants, I tell you! What jokers they are, full of gas and fury, signifying weirdness.
So, Sharee decides to organize a party and knows exactly what has to be done. The problem is, no one shows up! What went wrong? Yes folks, this is a mystery story and Sharee isn't going to give up until he figures it all out. He sits up all night wondering where in the sun everyone is, and then first thing in the morning, it dawns on him! Actually I may have made up that last bit, but he does figure it out and finally he gets to party down and make new friends.
I recommend this as a good idea to get kids thinking about how to make friends, and more importantly, how to keep them. This is a discussion which you can have with your children long after you've read through the book with them.
