Summary
From two acclaimed author and illustrator talents come the hilarious follow-up to Company's Coming—and this time, suburbia is going into outer space!
After a nice dinner at Shirley and Moe's in Company's Coming, the visitors from outer space made a momentous announcement: There's going to be a wedding on planet Nextoo! And, after having tasted Shirley's meatballs, the spacemen ask Shirley and Moe a teeny weeny favor: would they be so kind as to cater the simple celestial celebration for four hundred and eighty-seven alien guests (give or take a few)? Shirley is thrilled, but Moe has his doubts-after all, who wants to travel past Uranus in a spaceship the size of a barbecue?
