Bookroo's summary

Jack, a playful dog, encounters mysterious space visitors in his backyard. They unhook his leash and enjoy a fun-filled adventure. But when it's time to leave, they want to take Jack with them. Can Jack find a way to stay on Earth, or will he embark on an unexpected journey? Discover the whimsical tale of friendship and choice in this wordless picture book, where Jack's collar might just be his saving grace.

From the publisher

When the Night Visitors return, they want to take Jack home with them. Will they succeed? The Night Visitors are back. The family doesn’t know they’ve come. But their dog, Jack, does. Once they land, the space creatures unhook Jack’s leash. They have a grand time playing with Jack and when it’s time to return to their ship, they try to take Jack with them. Fortunately, Jack’s collar is not built for space travel! This compelling, easy-to-follow, wordless picture book introduces pre-literate children to elements of story–such as character, setting, and action–and invites them to read the book on their own.
