The Super Smelly Alien is a highly humorous picture book about an extraterrestrial visitor whose distinguishing, and highly problematic, feature is his overwhelming, terrible smell. The story follows the alien's arrival and the comical reactions of the humans and animals he encounters, as they try to deal with the odor. The book uses absurdity and exaggeration to explore themes of accepting difference and overcoming initial aversions. Kate Leake crafts a silly, engaging tale that is perfect for children who enjoy a bit of gross-out humor, ultimately concluding with a lesson on friendship and tolerance.
