Gr 3-5 This interactive audiobook features Eek and Ack from Blake Hoena's graphic novel series. The space alien brothers from the Great Goo Galaxy's planet Gloop are bored one afternoon and decide to add a little excitement to their day by plotting to invade and conquer Earth. When their rickety space ship lands outside of the Sudsy Duck Laundromat, they are taken inside and put through the washtwice. They decide to try to carry out their plan another day, but next time they'll be armed with what they know will defeat the humansdirty underwear. The CD-ROM can be played automatically or manually, and the narration can be turned on or off. Steve Harpster's illustrations are slightly animated, and there are some sound effects. Special features include a glossary, facts about space and galaxies, a few discussion questions, and writing prompts. The illustrations are good, but the pace of the narration on autoplay is quite slow. Fans of science fiction and graphic novels will enjoy this electronic book.
