This book is a collection of eight fun and amusing stories about a very skinny little old man named Alfred who lives on the Moon. Alfred's curious nature takes him on many adventures and leads him to a six year old boy named Thomas and his lovable dog, Theodore. Being barely six inches tall and rather mischievous, Alfred finds himself in many difficult and amusing situations.

Each story introduces Alfred to a normal day on Earth but turns quickly to one filled with unexpected surprises as Alfred reminds us of the possibility of an adventure waiting in the most ordinary places.
