One sunny day a pink spaceship lands in the garden of Aki and his siblings. Out of it emerges a strange being with two heads who claims his name is Betwo. The being is curious regarding life on Earth, especially regarding a puzzling phenomenon he has observed from outer space. Betwo spends an entire day with the siblings; encounters a lady who sometimes writes stories, gets to know grandpa‘s hot cocoa and granny‘s woolly socks. Last but not least he gets to know all about the mysterious phenomenon – books – and they do not disappoint him in the least!

Betwo is one of Sigrun Eldjarn’s first titles and played an important role in establishing her as the favourite author of numerous Icelandic children. This is an updated edition with new and fun illustrations by the author.
