Aliens Zig and Wikki mistakenly land on Earth. Zig's homework assignment is to find a class pet, and there are no shortages here: they encounter a fly, dragonfly, frog, and raccoon. The text, set in lively cartoon panels, includes occasional factual asides about each animal, with the tone just right for the intended audience: "Some frogs shed their skin...and then they eat it."
