About this item
Lovingly illustrated, this wry and gentle fantasy will speak to adults as well as children - and cast the familiar in an astonishing new light.. A tiny Spaceman arrives on a new planet, ready to perform his monotonous tasks - collecting samples, labeling and filing them, and moving on to the next planet. But pausing to look around, the Spaceman is dazzled by the beauty of his surroundings. And when a large bird makes off with his ship, he's forced to venture out into this new world - planet Earth - on foot. Marveling at a varied landscape of flowers, butterflies, and other wondrous creatures, he finds a pond to float in and a goofy, slobbery beast who seems to want to be his friend. Could it be that the Spaceman has found a new home? This simple and sophisticated story filled with deadpan humor offers surprises on each lively spread.
