Review: Very Simple Book, No Real Story, Unless it is a Political Bit of Propoganda to Teach Kids Illegal Immigrants are People Too?

I'm not sure I understand what this product is.  As a simple picture book that is supposed to be literally about aliens, it doesn't make much sense as it is basically an alien telling the reader it is just like them and that aliens are people and giving a heap of examples with an illustration of it doing that example.  Such as taking pictures with a camera, singing, playing guitar, playing video games, taking a dump (yes there's a picture of this), soccer and even American Football.  It's pretty hard to believe an alien would have the same sports and past times on Zluto that are played on Earth let along America. But then it's telling you Aliens are people too, so maybe the message is not actually supposed to be about a green alien.  I'm assuming then it's about combating racist attitudes towards immigrants (or illegal aliens using the American slang), by pointing out to readers, that these people although looking different are actually just like them with the same interests and dreams.As the former just a kids book about green aliens, it's a rather dull uninteresting story that makes little sense, but as the latter combating racist attitudes towards immigrants it's okay and does have a good message, but the book just needs to be a bit clearer pointing out it's talking about migrants and not spacemen.
