They even have EXPERTS IN ALL THINGS HUMAN CERTIFICATES! And in all of the stories, Zips and Eeloo have learned that humans love friends, so now they are going to make a friend, too. But "making friends" is harder than it seems ... nowhere in any of the books have Zips and Eeloo learned how to make one, so they're going to try with milk jugs, tennis balls, and anything else they can find.

"These hilarious and lovable aliens have only been on Earth for six days but they navigate being human like expertsā¦ in chaos. And I adored every second!" -Ā Tara J. Hannon, author of Birtle and the Purple Turtles
āSimple yet energetic dialogue by Boukarim (Hello Goodbye Little Island) combines with deliciously bright artwork from Lopez (LankyBox: Epic Adventure!), making the events of this goofy early reader graphic novel offering practically bounce off the page. Itās a warm and madcap meditation on teamwork, patience, and new experiences told through a comestible escapade starring cartoonish pseudo-siblings finding common ground in their love for chickpea paste.āĀ Ā - Publisher's WeeklyĀ forĀ Zips and Eeloo Make Hummus
"Lopez's expressive, witty artwork is full of comedic, slapstick energy and really complements the characters and the overall story. In addition to the playful, inviting story, Zips and Eeloo actually follow some good directions, and a recipe at the end will give kids a chance to try it on their own. Delicious fun." -Ā BooklistĀ forĀ Zips and Eeloo Make Hummus
"A mix of simple comedic ingredients with a few twists as garnish makes for a funny, fast read.āā - Kirkus ReviewsĀ forĀ Zips and Eeloo Make Hummus
