From the I Am Reading series, this is a short book about an alien named Alby and his companion Squee. The two have plenty of things to play with, but they prefer to play in the muddy swamp down by the garden. They're not allowed to go down there, but they continue to sneak down there. The two get caught when Squee forgets to wipe his paws and he leaves muddy footprints.When he gets caught, he gets sent to the squeeble house and gets banished from Alby's bed. Alby gives his buddy Squee his stuffed animal Purpy to sleep with so he wouldn't be lonely.
Good perspective presented on the differences and similarities of human and alien life. This book is fo readers just starting to read chapter books. The book is fun because it comes up with these crazy alien names for everything like, Groobleblaster.
