Description:

Alfie's three great loves, in strict order, are aliens, rockets, and the moon. So when a brand new baby sister called Ruby suddenly arrives, Alfie is far more interested in his space adventures than this odd little newcomer. But the more he studies her, the stranger she seems — she looks funny, she sounds funny, and she most definitely smells funny. With grown-up phrases like "over the moon" and "we need more space" floating around the house, Alfie reaches the only logical conclusion: Ruby must be a tiny alien who has accidentally landed in the wrong family. Determined to be brave, he zips up his space suit, climbs into his rocket, and sets off to return her to where she belongs. What he discovers up among the stars surprises him — and warms his heart. With beautiful etched illustrations, this is a tender, funny welcome-to-the-family tale.
