Beegu

I bought this book to read to the children I work with who struggle to understand their feelings and the feelings of others. The book is beautifully illustrated and the few, but very poignant words are meaningful and thought provoking. The children seem to be able to empathise with the character Beegu, and understand the emotions Beegu may be feeling and consequently can then relate this to their feelings.This is the second book I own by Alexis Deacon, I also use 'Lost and Found' with the children, and again the children can really empathise with the Penguin and relate this to their experiences.Both books are beautifully illustrated and simply written, but really touch the heart and allow the children to explore emotions at a level they understand.

The most beautiful book. It tells the story of a little alien crash landing on Earth, wondering why she can't speak to anyone.The tale unfolds, with lovely illustrations how she manages to find her way home.We used it as our class book for our Y2 English lessons (using a free 'power of reading' scheme) and the writing it encouraged our class to make was wonderful!Quite a few our the class asked their parents to buy it for them, so it definitely made a good impression.It's a lovely story too, for the end of the day and can create some fantastic class discussions!

Lovely little story of a little girl space alien who has landed on earth and lost her mummy and family and how she tries to find her family again and make friends with the strange people on earth.I read this with my little one then let him read independently, we had a nice chat about the book at the end and its well illustrated for the child to follow the book. A lovely little story we have read again and again.

Really good book to read and discuss with children

Nephew was delighted. For me, I expected more words. For a much younger child than six I suspect but clearly the story is captivating.

My child was reading this book at school.ans talked about it a lot so wanted to get it for home.It came quick and we are both happy with it

My little girl has been reading this in year 1 and she loved it, so we bought her it and it has become a favourite of hers.

Lovely story to explore feelings and language. Well packaged and arrived promptly.

Esse livro é a coisa mais doce do mundo!

The sweetest story you'll ever read, my son loves Beegu! Illustrations are awesome.

Beegu è un capolavoro assoluto.

A beautiful story with beautiful illustrations. Happy ending. All the generations in our house love it. My toddler finds Beegu useful as a prototype for aliens and when we discuss aliens or space, she will say, "Like Beegu?" Beegu's spaceship also crashes and she is unable to communicate, and my toddler also mentions Beegu whenever crashing or a failure to communicate comes up...an especially nice story for parents with one child, as Beegu appears to be an only child whose parents rescue her after losing her after a spaceship crash.

Très belle histoire pour enfants, avec des dessins originaux et très beaux. L'histoire orientée pour les enfants est assez sympa. Plaît à ma fille de 2 ans et demi.
