From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 3-- Ever wonder how we might appear to extraterrestrials when occupied in various forms of locomotion? Here, translated into Human, are Professor Xargle's observations of the various phenomena, from an alien's viewpoint. Readers are privileged to watch the amusing goings-on as he describes two-wheel spinners (bikes), stinkfumers (automobiles), bucking broncos, and more to his class of tentacled, green pupils. Both text and illustrations are extremely funny: the deadpan explanations of Earthlings' peculiarities and Ross's patented brand of cartoon craziness are wonderfully matched. Make sure readers don't miss the train conductor who has just punched the passenger's tie along with his ticket. Great fun. --Joan McGrath, Education Centre Lib , Toronto, Ontario, Canada

From Kirkus Reviews:
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Moving right along, the fuzzy, green three-eyed alien who explained human babies so hilariously in Earthlets (1989), as well as our cats and dogs in later efforts, takes up the subject of terrestrial transportation before his class dons their disguises for a field trip to sample the marvels he has described. The professor's comical misconceptions cover several modes of transport, so that only a few pages are available for each; there's less opportunity to expand on the jokes, but the alien nomenclature and literal-minded observations are still amusing. Ross's gleefully satirical illustrations extend the humor in their usual style. Not as amusing as its predecessors, but still good fun. (Picture book. 4-9) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.
