357D: Adventures with a small bald alien

I think that I started reading this book in 1961 or 1962. A boy stumbles across a small alien individual ... male and bald ... and they have adventures. I remember that I liked it and re-read it several times.

I know, it sounds like the plot to ET.

I believe that a woman was the author of the book.

Thanks and good luck.

    In 1962 there weren’t a lot of women writing science fiction, so you might look at a list of Andre Norton titles to start.

    Thanks for all of these suggestions but my book is not among those items. Again, the details that I recall….
    1. Female author
    2. Young boy is the main character
    3. Small, bald alien
    4. I read the book in the early 1960s
