Strange Planet
Straight from the mind of New York Times bestselling author Nathan W. Pyle comes an adorable and profound universe in pink, blue, green, and purple. Based on the phenomenally popular Instagram of the same name, Strange Planet covers a full life cycle of the planet’s inhabitants, including milestones such as:
The Emergence Day
Being Gains a Sibling
The Being Family Attains a Beast
The Formal Education of a Being
Celebration of Special Days
Being Begins a Vocation
The Beings at Home
Health Status of a Being
The Hobbies of a Being
The Extended Family of the Being
The Being Reflects on Life While Watching the Planet Rotate
With dozens of never-before-seen illustrations in addition to old favorites, this book offers a sweet and hilarious look at a distant world not so unlike our own.
Stranger Planet
The second collection featuring comics that look at aliens exploring Earth culture and everyday occurrences.
Nathan mixes his most popular Instagram comics with more than thirty original works created exclusively for this second volume to explore four major topics: traditions, nature, emotions, and knowledge.
The Sneaking, Hiding, Vibrating Creature
Based on his popular Instagram comics, Nathan W. Pyle presents a picture book. When the nearest star rises, Lifegiver has an exciting quest planned for Offspring! Follow along as they observe a strange creature that sneaks, hides, and vibrates around their house.

I started with The Sneaking, Hiding, Vibrating Creature. Wwhen I saw that title I'm like, yup, that totally described a cat and I had to nab it from the library. It was super cute. Not just what the cat was doing, but how the aliens interpreted it, like a tongue being a "flavor-muscle" or claws being "death blades" (anyone on the receiving end of a cat scratch would agree). My only complaint, wish it were longer! But as a picture book for little kids it was only about 30 pages long, awww.
I then went back and got my hands on Strange Planet. I didn't love it nearly as much as I loved the Vibrating Creature (though the vibrating creature showed up a couple times) but it was still very cute and sweet and sometimes insightful into the strangeness of our own planet. I actually ended up sharing it around with other family members since I thought it would make them smile too.
