Reviews
A fresh, funny debut about an alien who has created the Earth as her school project and decides to intervene in the mess humans are making of her work. An outsider’s view of human behaviour creates brilliant observational humour that young readers attending school will enjoy. With zany illustrations from award-winning Blunt.
Primmer presents climate change and environmental issues in an accessible and engaging way, viewing them through the eyes of an extra-terrestrial, which mirrors the understanding of a young child. . . Fred Blunt’s illustrations beautifully capture how an alien might perceive our world. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
Funny, illustrated debut.
The first in a series of funny, illustrated books for middle grade readers that is sure to be enormously popular with children and adults alike.
