Soar into space with this glorious love story of alien
folk, from the creators of The Gruffalo and Stick
Man, now in an early reader format to support
children who are gaining confidence in reading.
The Smeds (who are red) never mix with the Smoos (who are blue).



So when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love, their families strongly
disapprove.


But peace is restored and love conquers all in this happiest of
love stories. There’s even a gorgeous purple baby to celebrate!






This Early Reader edition contains the complete classic story
and pictures, in a pocket-book format, and with an extra-clear font
and layout, to support children who are gaining confidence in
reading.
