Alien in the Outfield (Book 6)

Acting like an Earthling isn’t easy! Follow the adventures of Spork the alien in the How to Be an Earthling series. Each book covers a different character trait to help kids think about what they say and do. 
 
Fifty states! The class has to learn them all, but Adam barely remembers five. Even Spork knows more—and he’s from a different planet! Luckily, Adam has baseball . . . and yubble, the cosmic new sport that Spork is teaching everyone. Why can’t learning the states be as easy as playing ball? Every How to Be an Earthling title includes fun back-of-book activities that build on story themes.
