When Angus Met Alvin

Author(s): Sue Pickford

3-5 yrs Picture Books (Paperback)

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 ...

Carousel "very funny... bright and colourful" The Bookbag 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."
