By a wonderful twist of happy coincidence all the scientists from the planet Queekrg look exactly like grey, rough-coated dogs from the planet Earth. Wonderful for camouflage, but inconvenient for being taken seriously here. So when Space Dog crash lands into Roy's garden, he has to remember to walk on all fours, not to use his computer and keep quiet.

Only Roy knows Space Dog's true identity, which becomes a serious problem when Blanche, a friend's poodle, is smitten head over paws in love and when Space Dog becomes trapped in a Save-a-stray animal sanctuary. A gloriously funny pair of books for confident young readers and very successful read-alouds for the less than confident.
