'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title. Al Yorinks is the author of the Caldecott-winning Hey, Al, and David Small is well known for his artwork in Caldecott Honor Book The Gardener. It's one of those rare books that will delight adults as well as children, passing on an easy-to-swallow message of human kindness and grace under pressure. Ever the charming hostess, Shirley slowly unwraps the gift, which, as it turns out, is none of the above.įirst published in 1988, Company's Coming received several prestigious honors, including The New York Times Book Review's Notable Books and the Redbook Children's Picture Book Award. But what is in the gift box the aliens have brought? 'It's a bomb! It's gas! It's a laser!' Cousin Etta yells, before swooning again. The relatives and Moe take turns fainting while Shirley politely offers her new visitors appetizers. Meanwhile, Moe has alerted the FBI, the Pentagon, the Army, the Air Force, and the Marines. Later that evening, when Shirley's cousins arrive for a spaghetti dinner, the aliens return, bearing a gift. When a spaceship quietly lands next to Moe and Shirley's tool shed and two aliens ask to use the bathroom, Moe becomes slightly hysterical while Shirley tries to keep her cool.

In this slyly humorous tale of visitors from outer space and a nice couple from Bellmore, we learn that the key to intergalactic human-alien relations is.
