The Adventures of Ryan Alexander: the Great Space Chase Eric Achatz

Ryan Alexander has a problem. His two sisters, Jessica and Kristina, are the world's biggest baby-brother-kiss 'em up kissers, and all Ryan wants to do is get away from them. Stuck in his high chair, Ryan must use his imagination to figure out a way to escape his lip-smackin' sisters.

Ryan wonders if he can turn his high chair into a cow. No, it would just stand there and "moo." Can he turn his high chair into sled? Not a chance-it is too warm for snow. Suddenly, Ryan figures it out. Never mind the spaghetti-he uses his bowl as a helmet, checks his systems, and starts his engines. His high chair is now the fastest rocket ever, and he is ready to blast into space! Just as he lifts off past the moon and on to the stars, he looks in his mirror and sees the two giant lip monsters right behind him. They have their own ships!

This delightful story for children of all ages takes Ryan and his sisters on an exciting adventure through the solar system, as a baby brother relies on his very active imagination to flee from two sets of gigantic, slobbery lips.
