I like the alien, only because he was looking for the light of his best friend. So then when he got back in to the space ship, he went off in to space and when she realised she was wanted to be back home. She tried and said it but that didn't work, so she had to draw it then her alien friend understood and took her back immediately.

I liked that the book was about friendship and that even if you have a far away friend, you can still see them from time to time. I would recommend this book because it is really nice.

The story was original and tells the importance of belief and being patented. It has very good pictures. My favorite part is when they met with each other and become friends.
