Story Description
This is a delightful story about three adorable cute little moon aliens name Ognib, and twins, Eepie and Oopie. The aliens think they see a monster in the Earth's night sky. They’re afraid. Then they hear jolly laughter. Afraid but curious, they remain safely in their flying saucer and open up the hatch to find out what’s going on. With the hatch open, they see Santa Claus. He gives them each a gift. It’s Christmas! This enjoyable story ends with the three aliens happily flying back home to the moon. Their flying saucer is loaded with gifts.
What do Children Learn From This Story?
By being curious and opening up the hatch, the aliens, Ognib, Eepie and Oopie remove themselves from their familiar comfort zone. In doing so, they are rewarded to a wonderful and happy adventure. As you read this story, explain to your child that it’s natural sometimes to feel a bit afraid to do something new. Emphasize that as long as he or she has your permission, it’s ok to “open up the hatch” and experience and learn new things. This teaches your child to be intellectually curious. So the next time when your child hesitates to do something new, tell them to be curious and “Open Up The Hatch.” By remembering this story and its happy outcome, your child will easily relate to what you mean when you say, "Open up the Hatch.".
