Social Issues: Environment & Green Issues
A little alien lands on Earth – and discovers its beauty and variety. But playing with young earthlings is best of all.
A little alien touches down on Planet Earth and looks around. A shape-shifter, able to transform into all sorts of Earth's living things, from frogs and and fleas to even plants, and of course human children, the visitor gets to experience the wonderful energy and variety of our planet. It's such an amazing place, and playing with young human earthlings is best of all. Mary Murphy's brilliance in presenting big ideas in simple but vibrant images and words shines in this exceptional picture book for the 3+ age group.
