5Oluu, a careless young alien, is sent to Earth on a research mission. Landing on a dairy farm in UsefulNotes/{{Vermont}}, she uses her ability to take on the forms of animals to learn about Earth and ends up befriending two human children, Molly and Jack.
6----
7!!Contains examples of:
8* ExactWords: To stop Oluu from stealing eggs from the henhouse, Molly tells her: "Dogs must not eat eggs." Oluu later realizes that she had said "eggs", not "egg", so she thinks she's allowed to eat ''one'' egg.
9* SwitchingPOV: Chapters alternate between Oluu and the human kids' points of view.
10* WhatIsThisFeeling: Oluu ends up experiencing emotions she's new to, such as fear.
11* {{Xenofiction}}: Oluu's point of view is very alien. For example, when she first sees a dog, her narration describes it as "a smaller four-legger, with a fifth appendage that swayed back and forth on the end opposite the foreparts."
