Keep in touch

This book is charming and an excellent read for KS1 children, particularly Foundation stage and for classrooms with UAL and SEN children. The beautifully simplistic illustrations convey a lot of emotion, and children and adults alike will be able to interpret when Beegu is happy and sad. The loneliness felt by Beegu is heartfelt and I believe a lot of children will be able to empathise with her emotions at being a stranger in a new environment. This book teaches the importance of being kind to others and welcoming others into a new environment. It would be an excellent book for teachers to use when welcoming new students into the classroom, encouraging the children to be considerate and make sure no one in the class feels anxious and isolated like Beegu. Children can make up a new story. Where does Beegu go to when this story ends? What does she do? You can help them write down what happened to Beegu and they can draw more pictures if they’d like to. When it’s finished, you can read it aloud together. Make an alien chart

Design a new alien and think about how they might be adapted to living in a particular environment. Beegu tells the tale of an adorable little three-eyed alien who unexpectedly finds herself alone on Earth after her spacecraft crash-lands, leaving her stranded. Feeling bewildered and alone as she awaits a rescue signal from her mother Beegu sets off to find friends with the strange creatures she comes across. Ignored by both the rabbits and leaves she seeks friendships from the adults she finds in the city of London, only to be dismissed. Sad and alone she finds comfort in a box of abandoned puppies outside an animal shelter but it is soon apparent that “Beegu wasn’t wanted there” when she is discovered by an adult. Beegu soon finds some children in a playground who are accepting and become her earth friends until an adult finds her and she is once again discarded. As Beegu falls asleep afraid and alone and uncertain of her future on Earth, she awakens to hear her mother calling from her UFO. She retells her Earth experience to her parents describing the earth creatures as big and unfriendly “but there were some smaller ones who seemed hopeful”. Beegu will always remember her new friends and hope they will remember her too! Use a paper plate and tissue paper to design and make an alien mask to wear, to act out the story of Beegu or make up their own alien story. Make alien puppets Quite a sad theme throughout the story about being lost and in a foreign place on your own. The main character Beegu struggles to find someone who will 1) listen to them and 2) help them. The story unravels to reveal that although the adult humans weren’t very helpful or even nice to Beegu, the children on Earth were. This is shown as Beegu is seen to play with human toys and even given a hula hoop to keep by the children which she befriends at a school.

We’ve teamed up with the book's publishers, Puffin Books, to bring you this beautifully designed Beegu Book PDF. It gives children the opportunity to make their own mini zigzag booklet in either A3 or A4, using just one single sheet of paper. With blank and lined versions available, children will love becoming authors themselves and writing their own versions of this heartwarming story. Let’s get one thing straight: Beegu is adorable! She is a luminous, bright lemon yellow that bestows her (according to Publishers Weekly) with a ‘celestial simplicity’. With two long ear-like antennae, Beegu is highly expressive. One minute they trail along behind her. The next, they are raised quizzically – or held erect in alarm. Three eyes make Beegu suitably other-worldly, yet she retains the cuteness of a stuffed bunny.
