Summary
Earthlings. You can't help being fiendishly ugly and hideously stupid.
But hooray and yippee - four-headed Flowkwee and his family have come to Earth to Improve you.
If you don't read this book, you will never find out how they're going to Improve humans.
Or why the Earth could be turned into a giant spinach farm.
Or how Flowkwee gets on in his schoolboy disguise.
Or the importance of ice cream and cola bottles and cute little flies.
You will only have yourselves to blame.
The first in a hilarious series for young readers, illustrated throughout with wacky pictures by the author herself!
