Beegu

Product Information

This book shows pictures of Beegu using her alien language on bunnies, trees, and leaves. When the leaves blow away the book says, “Some wouldn’t even stay to listen.” The pictures show how lonely and innocent Beegu is. I think that a lot of children could empathize with Beegu’s loneliness. You could easily use this book to talk about including others or feelings. I also think that this book would be interesting to very different kids. Girls would be attracted to Beegu’s “cuteness” and boys would like it because it is about an alien.

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. 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 This picture book for 1st-4th graders says a lot without much print. It is about Beegu, an adorable alien, who gets lost on Earth. She doesn’t understand anything about Earth. She is lonely, confused, and sad. The pictures show her reaching out to adults only to be ignored. At one point she finds comfort with some abandoned puppies that all cuddle up to her. Then an adult from an animal shelter finds Beegu and it is obvious that, “Beegu wasn’t wanted there.” Later in the story Beegu befriends some children. They have a great time playing until a teacher gets rid of Beegu. The children don’t let Beegu leave without giving her a big hug and a toy as a present. Beegu learns her first Earth word from the children. She falls asleep with her new toy and her mother and father come in a UFO to get her. She tells them all about how the big Earth creatures were unfriendly but the small ones seemed hopeful.

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.

Unfortunately, most of the Earth creatures she meets are big and unfriendly. But that’s the BIG ones. The small ones are a different matter. Searching for even more like this?

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!

Teacher-Created Resources to Elevate your Lessons Beegu speaks in an unusual language that is written using shapes and symbols. Can you write a guide to help others understand this language? When a little alien named Beegu - who looks rather like a three-eyed yellow rabbit, with long floppy ears - crash lands on Earth, she has trouble making herself understood by the locals, who seem either indifferent or unfriendly. Lost and alone, she searches for a place of shelter in this unwelcoming place, eventually finding a warm bed with a group of puppies, left in a box outside an animal shelter. But even this refuge is denied her, in the morning, when the shelter worker reacts poorly to finding this strange creature on his doorstep. Wandering once again, Beegu encounters a group of schoolchildren on the playground, who warmly welcome her into their midst - until the grownup in charge puts a stop to it. Will Beegu ever find a place to belong? Will her mother ever come for her...?
