More Literary Success For Faiz Kermani's "A First Guide To Space Creatures"

Online, April 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Faiz Kermani's imaginative "A First Guide to Space Creatures" has won second prize in the UK's 2011 Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards in the 6 - 8 Year Olds category. It previously received an Honorable Mention at the US 2011 Reader Views Literary Awards in the Young Reader (8 to 12) category.

This humorous, full color, illustrated children's book dreams up a crazy universe inhabited by mysterious space creatures who will appeal to imaginative young readers - and those still young at heart.

Employing a strong environmental theme, Faiz describes each of these creatures through the eyes of the legendary space diplomat, Ambassador Ticklydung - an alien who made it his life's mission to protect space creatures and ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to see them in a more natural environment.

Highlighting the diversity of alien space life, the book categorizes the creatures as Furry, Small but Greedy, Smelly, Definitely Weird, On the Move, Endangered, and Very Dangerous. Under each category there are details of the relevant creatures and a color drawing of each one. So whether it is the huge, carnivorous tringleesaurus or the tiny burrowing kwoj you want to know more about, the information can easily be found.
