Introduction
Glassdome One’s bi-yearly sporting event brings three unlikely friends together. They end up on expeditions to Earth that were not approved by their leader, Bossee. Brainee is at his happiest when the people admire him, and when he wins Bossee’s favour. After all, he is Glassdome One’s second in charge. He is not quite sure what exactly it means to be second in charge, but he likes the sound of it. Talkee is seldom quiet. It could be a serious problem when you are trying not to get caught on a strange planet. A stern look from Brainee is sometimes all he needs to keep quiet. Clumsee has a tendency to end up in trouble without meaning to do so. He is not the most observant of extraterrestrials. He works hard at showing his friends that he is capable of being useful on their missions. He doesn't want them to leave him behind in the visit-mobile or back on their home planet and miss out on an adventure.
In spite of their good intentions, the three friends often end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. From tiptoeing inside a shop to landing in the middle of the filming of a movie. Neither rangers nor dogs chasing them stopped their expeditions. Through quick-thinking - most of the time on Brainee’s side -, they escape from one mishap after another. Arriving back on their own planet, they always have a lot of explaining to do to Bossee.
Through the laughter and mayhem, the trio learns about each other and about teamwork.
Alien Adventures: Explorations on Earth, is a delightful journey of three friends on hilarious misadventures. It is a great read for anyone in need of a good laugh and light-hearted fiction, for children ages 8 - 12 years old.

Introduction
Beulah, Farmer Don's favourite goat, loved to exaggerate. Her best friend, Ben - a billy goat, found it hard to believe her when she told him about the dreadful, newest member to the animal family - Mr Tiny, The Second - a pedigree Rottweiler!

“Are you sure you are not exaggerating a little, Beulah?”, he asked. However, when he saw Mr Tiny, The Second with his own eyes, he had to believe her.

The two friends did not trust or like Mr Tiny one bit. He made them very nervous. On top of it, he had the habit of showing up at the most impossible times. Beulah had just about enough of Mr Tiny's shenanigans. She thought of a plan to show him who is boss and not to mess with the goats, but her plan did not work out as planned. Mr Tiny walked away a hero in the eyes of all the farm animals, much to her annoyance. Ben and Beulah set out to set things straight. Everything went hunky dory until the silly hen, Mrs Beak, accused Beulah of causing the bump on her head.

Beulah knew she would have to think of a new plan to set the noisy chickens straight and ran off towards the pond to think.

In a jiffy she found herself in real trouble. Only one animal could help her now - Mr Tiny, The Second!
