Baloney (Henry P.) is a children's picture book written by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith.

[1] The book tells the story of an alien schoolchild who has an excellent reason for being late for school – he had been blasted off into space.

The book encourages the reader to work out the meaning of a word from its context.

The apparently alien words sprinkled throughout the text are actually from Earth languages.
