A goofy warrior and his crew learn a lesson about prejudging when they land on a new planet.

The Glorkian Warrior, a bumbling blue-jumpsuited, bubble-gum–pink, three-eyed space traveler, crash-lands on a new planet after trying to steer his ship with his tongue. With his companions, Baby Gonk and Super Backpack, the doughty adventurer explores their surroundings. When the Glorkian Warrior spies a rock he believes to be wrongly colored, he deems the entire planet “bad.” Soon, Baby Gonk is separated from the Glorkian Warrior and meets baby Gloo Gloo, who has wandered away from mother Gloonda. When everyone is reunited, they happen upon a humungous egg, and once again, the Glorkian Warrior foolhardily decides it’s “evil” when it hatches. Though short and seemingly unceasingly daffy, Kochalka’s fourth Glorkian tale offers a subtle message about acceptance and how rash judgments can hurt everyone, as the Glorkian Warrior’s impulsive choices leave him with a broken ship and many bruises. With oversized panels, whimsically styled characters, and an eye-catching palette, the book should dissolve readers into giggles as they watch the wacky warrior make one comically bad decision after another. Readers are given virtually no backstory; however, the experience is much like jumping into the middle of a season of an animated show, and most readers should be able to follow the action and silliness without too many quibbles.

Zany overload with a quiet message. (Graphic fantasy/humor. 7-11)
