One day at recess, Rappy the dinosaur gets taken by aliens on a U.F.O. ride. The head alien, Janet, wants Rappy to live with her—on Mars! Will Rappy stay in space to roam, or will he rap his way back home?
Beginning readers will love rapping along as Rappy goes on an out-of-this-world adventure.
This rhyming Level Two I Can Read is geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help.

After rapping raptor Rappy is abducted by a UFO, his annoying "raps" secure his freedom (an alien: "Let's send back this dinosaur. / I can't take it anymore!"). Some rhymes don't scan very well, but Gutman keeps the groan-inducing jokes coming ("This was worse than diarrhea! / But then I got a great idea!"). Bowers illustrates a cast exhibiting Saturday morning cartoonlike witlessness.
