Aliens on Earth, in a Cow

Zig and Wikki in the Cow: a TOON book by Nadja Spiegelman and illustrated by Trade Loeffler. Published in New York, NY by TOON Books, 2012.

Zig the alien and his computer pal Wikki are heading home to their planet with their new pet fly, who's feeling under the weather. They realize that the fly needs to live on Earth in his natural habitat, so they return to the farm where they discover the fly loves to eat cow poo! When their spaceship gets eaten by a cow, Zig and Wikki let themselves get eaten too, and burped up, and they learn about ecosystems and cows and bugs. Lots of interesting facts to learn in this fun and silly mash up of aliens, science and imaginative non-fiction. Entertaining enough for reluctant early readers, in a deceptively educational format.
