Illustrated by
Tony DiTerlizzi.
In the second book chronicling their friendship, Alien and Possum cheer each other up, celebrate their birthdays together, and spend time hanging from tree limbs. The language has a rhythm and texture that is quietly appealing. The illustrations show the reds and yellows of Alien's metallic robot body contrasting with the soft natural world that Possum inhabits.
