Cute little book with short stories about aliens and pets. Aliens as pets, aliens having pets, pets that are in a way alien to us, stuff like that. Some stories were sweet, some were a bit more horror-like, none were very upsetting, or super surprising. A few made me chuckle. 
Read it if you already have it in your stash, but don’t expect more than a light easy reading snack. I’ll be donating my copy to the second hand book exchange thingy, which means I don’t want to throw it away but I don’t recommend it to my friends either.
