Sputnik'sGuideToLifeOnEarthPBWIPHere at Fun Kids, we’ve been checking out a book all about an alien – but not just any alien, an alien that looks like a dog! It’s called Sputnik’s Guide to LifeΒ on Earth and it’s out now. Click here to find out more!

Prez has come to live with the Blythe family, who foster children, similar to the foster agency in Birmingham, UK. Prez seems cheerful and friendly, but he’s never said a word! One day, someone calls at the door who says they’re a relative of Prez. It’s a small, loud stranger who carries a backpack and goes by the name of Sputnik. Sputnik walks through the door, and the Blythe family start patting him on the head like a dog! Prez knows he isn’t a dog, but he’s the only one!

Sputnik starts causing a bit of trouble though, and Prez finds himself having to defend the family from the mayhem he causes! The TV remote starts fast-forwarding people, a toy lightsaber comes to life and Prez needs to find his voice to explain what’s going on.

It turns out Sputnik is actually writing a guidebook to Earth called “Ten Things Worth Doing on Earth” and he takes Prez with him to help him find those 10 things!

Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth by Frank Cottrell Boyce is out now. Click here to find out more!
