And maybe there should have been a second sign that said: AND THEY'RE FLYING STRAIGHT FOR YOU.'A dead grandpa.A secret alien zoo.And only two kids to save all its creatures from a terrible fate.What could possibly go wrong?Funny, mysterious and a little bit rude; hold on to your hippos and look inside The Alien Zoo!
