Story[edit]
This Look and Read adventure follows the story of an environmentally aware, but rather clumsy alien.
He befriends three Earth children, who protect him from a nosy journalist, and help him on his mission to save the Earth from a terrible explosion.
Earth Warp activities include language puzzles - a wordsearch, hyphenated word game and cloze exercise - to improve Ollie the alien's spelling; logical puzzles - a spacecraft jigsaw puzzle and mini-text adventure; and mathematical puzzles - algebraic colour patterns, coordinate search game and symmetry patterns using angles to steer the spacecraft.
