About this listen

Soar into space with this glorious love story of alien folk, from the number one bestselling author and illustrator of The Gruffalo and Stick Man.

'By a loobular lake on a far-off planet

There lived a young Smed, and her name was Janet.

Not far away, on a humplety hill,

There lived a young Smoo by the name of Bill.'

The Smeds (who are red) never mix with the Smoos (who are blue).

So when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love, their families strongly disapprove.

But peace is restored and love conquers all in this happiest of love stories. There’s even a gorgeous purple baby to celebrate!

Friendship, love, adventure and togetherness are at the heart of this joyful story.
