Art the Alien

Have you ever wondered how strange Earth would seem to a visitor from another planet? How would everyday objects appear? Perhaps the toys in your bedroom would be confusing, or even frightening. Art the Alien is a tiny traveller from outer space. Join him on his adventures as he explores the Earth’s surface for the very first time.
