Product Description
Review
Problems of any kind are a favourite topic for children's writers. TV Sal and the Game Show from Outer Space , by Sheldon Oberman, is a wacky look at one young girl's addiction to television. After spending her whole vacation watching TV Sal suddenly finds herself swept into the television by space aliens looking for spaceship parts. Sat trades various bogus parts for a remote control that will put her on any TV show in the universe. The rest of the book is a cross between "Lost in Space" and "The David Letterman Show." After touring the sound stages of the galaxy, Sal finally decides she's had too much TV. Like most of the TV shows my daughter watches, this book seems to me a bit too frantic, which probably means kids will love it. Craig Terlson's illustrations are just as frenetic as the plot. Kids may stop watching TV just long enough to listen to this book.

A very interesting book, May 1 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: TV Sal and the Game Show from Outer Space (Hardcover)
It seemed very original because it was both a children's book but also a space age fantasy tale. It was also quite funny. I think it was trying to show what a wild ride people go on when they get caught up watching tv too much and it did this by have Tv Sal get caught up with space aliens and go on one interplanetary tv show after another - quite a bit of fun!
Listmania!
