The photo - Neal Layton

At the weekend Mum, Dad and I visited Planet Earth. I wanted to see a real live human. Dad had lent me his camera so I could take a photo of one. We landed at the zoo because that's where Mum said all sorts of earth animals lived. Follow Little Alien's adventures in his search for a human in this brilliantly inventive story! Find out which animal it is that the Alien family take home as their souvenir snap of a human being. Well, it didn't have webbed feet or wings, it didn't hop or have a tail, and it wasn't as tall as a giraffe … Tremendously funny and incredibly fresh illustrations - this picture book will make children and adults laugh out loud. The Author: Neal Layton is a graduate of St Martins. The Photo is his first picture book. His second picture book, authored by Michael Rosen, is Rover, publication July 1999. Neal lives in Eton, Windsor.
