I have seen this story read to a class of year 2 pupils and it was totally captivating for both boys and girls. It can lead to discussions about confusion, loneliness, abandonment, getting lost and the way people treat each other. The gorgeous illustrations makes it accessible to EAL (English as an additional language)and SEN (Special Educational Needs) children and as the story is so simple it is ideal for children to act this out in role play.

Beegu is an alien who is lost on our planet and no one understands her. There is an illustration of Beegu cuddled up in a warm cardboard box with some puppies which is simply gorgeous. Beegu is lost and alone once more as she is shunned from her puppy friends by an unfriendly adult. Then she stumbles upon a playground which seemed perfect until another adult sends her on her way. Her mother finds her and, again, another wonderful illustrations shows little Beegu reunited with her parents.
