Angus is a gentle alien who loves growing things in his space garden. But his world is turned upside-down by the unwelcome arrival of Alvin, a cocky and boastful alien from a different planet. Until Alvin s clever-clever tricks misfire and turn him into a minute, pin-size creature, Angus helps his visitor recover if he promises to behave better and learn some manners. Maybe the two aliens will end up friends after all . . . .

`a zany tale of friendship and acceptance, with bright and colourful artwork which will draw young readers right into the story and plenty of comical situations... to keep them laughing all the way through.'

"A humorous story about friends and working things out together, with a surprise at the end."

 

4 Star Review: "This is a funny and original book in both story and pictures. Witty and spunky, there's a good use of page and zippy illustrations to gallop alongside the taut, combative storyline."
