Zips and Eeloo are two aliens who think they are experts in all things human, like making hummus! But they aren’t exactly the experts they claim to be. Will Zips and Eeloo have hummus after all, or just one big, mushy mess? This graphic novel is great for readers who are just beginning their graphic novel journey!
In this hilarious and colorful graphic novel, readers will learn how to make hummus alongside the two alien friends. They'll clap and cheer as Zips and Eeloo look for a bowl (but get it confused with a bowling ball!), need to go to the grocery store for lemons, and eventually, make some super yummy hummus. This full-color graphic novel also includes a recipe for hummus in the back!

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This is a graphic novel about two aliens that are making hummus. Zips takes charge of things but it's really clear that Eeloo is the real brains of that operation. Because Zips has taken charge but Eeloo is the one who actually knows what's going on and what they should be doing, several accidents happen in the process of making the hummus, to hilarious effect. But eventually they get it.
While I typically don't like graphic novels, this one worked for me. Probably because it's targeted toward a younger crowd, so it's more in line with the comics that I grew up reading and loving in the newspaper. The illustrations were bold, bright, colorful, and so fun. They showed the issues with making hummus that Zips and Eeloo encountered to great effect. I would be okay reading this book more than once. Overall I give Zips and Eeloo Make Hummus 4.2975 out of 5 stars. - Katie
