Bumpfizzle the Best on Planet Earth
Chosen as the 2019 Citywide Reading for Children by Dublin UNESCO City of Literature
Bumpfizzle is an alien, sent to Earth from Planet Plonk on a research mission. Or is he really just a ten-year-old boy who is feeling a bit disgruntled at all the attention his parents are lavishing on The Baby?
It is up to readers to make up their own minds.
Either way, Bumpfizzle’s confusion at Earthling behaviours, as reported in his diary and his frequent reports back to Planet Plonk, are hilarious, and his adventures are ridiculous, from eating the cat’s food (it makes him throw up, always good for attention) to biting his teacher (to check if humans would make a good source of food for Plonkers) and attempting to sacrifice a goat (he soon discovers what goats’ horns are for).
With superb, funny and playful illustrations by
Elīna Brasliņa.
