This book is an interstellar portal, and the aliens inside want to get to know you!

Before you lift the cover, be sure you're ready to meet Zrk and Blrg. They're not so different from you

but to them, you're the alien!

After their initial shock at seeing you through the portal, they're eager to see what kind of teeth you have, compare home planets, and maybe team up for a prank. You met as aliens, but by the time the portal closes, maybe you'll be friends.

Reviews for To Activate Space Portal Lift Here

‘Highly recommended, this uniquely bold alien and space-themed picture book is perfect for imaginative 4+ year olds.' School Reading List ‘Budding galactic explorers will love this fresh and playful book which is packed with Portis’s bright lines and bold colours, all paired perfectly with humour that also offers a subtle message about the concepts of ‘strangeness’ and acceptance. Whether for bedtime or circle time, this is a portal you’ll want to open!’ Lancashire Evening Post
