We’ve read the other two Mooli books at my book club (although that was before my current book clubbers were old enough to join), and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed them! The Adventures of Mooli and the Blue-Legged Alien is just as much fun, or perhaps even more fun! A lovely combination of wacky adventures and a mystery, it’s a book that is imaginative and funny, in addition to being just the right length for my book club for ages seven and eight!
Aliens
How do you think an alien would look? Would it have blue legs? What powers would it have? Use your imagination to draw and describe an alien!
WAYOUTS
I’ve done this with my other Mooli books too; we’re going to do it again! If you were to take part in WAYOUTS—coming up with the best of the World’s As Yet Original and Untried Stunts—what would you do? What can you do that is completely new?
Using Toys
At the very end of the book, Mooli’s mother, Gita Krishnan, uses a toy aeroplane in a completely unexpected way. What toy of yours do you think you could use imaginatively?
Join a book club!
