Alfie is crazy about space. His favourite things are: 1. aliens, 2. rockets, 3. the moon - in that exact order. He doesn't really think much about anything else, until his new baby sister comes along. Then he notices that she looks a bit funny, she talks funny and sometimes she smells funny and he realizes . . . she MUST BE AN ALIEN! Alfie knows he needs to be brave and take her back to the moon where she belongs - after all, she often cries for home - and that's when the adventure really starts. . . A positive, funny and charming take on the joys of a new sibling with gorgeous etched illustrations from a rising picture book star.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest, funny, beautiful children's story
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2010
If I'm right your kids will want it read again and again, there's a bit of a double edged sword in great children's stories, but in this case every time you read it the quality of the prose means it remains fresh and the art work I could never tire of. I don't think I've read a children's book where I identified more more with the main character, Alfie. It took me right back to the conflicting feelings I had, as a little boy, about my own baby sister when she 'landed' in my house. This is such an important subject for anyone who has a second, or more, child. But don't get me wrong, this is not written as a 'worthy lesson' it is a truly funny and clever story that will have you laughing and crying and your little ones reading over and over. The author/illustrator, Rachel Bright, had me spell bound with her deftness of touch in words, and pictures that stand alone as beautiful and detailed works of art.

My 2 year old son likes this book at bed time. He shouts "moon" and "space" during the story. It's a quick read, but it's very cute and makes for a welcomed variety at bedtime.

I love this book. Originally got it out of the library but after reading it with my 5 year old and 3 year old I had to buy a copy. I've also bought a copy for my niece who has recently become a big sister. Sweet easy to read story. My two think it's funny.

Love this book. My twins read it at pre-school and really liked the story but we couldn’t find it in shops anywhere - managed to get one here on Amazon and it’s been a favourite at home :)
