Why read it?
1 author picked The Smeds and the Smoos as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It’s her favourite bedtime storybook at the moment. She’s obsessed with anything to do with space, and there are some pretty cool planets and rockets in it. It’s essentially a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet: the Smeds (the red aliens) hate the Smoos (the blue aliens) but Janet (a Smed) and Bill (a Smoo) fall in love. It’s really quite sweet. It’s very poetic and full of gorgeous made-up words, and the illustrations are wonderful.
