This is great to read for the little ones in kinder to 2nd grade, the book is Bad Frogs by Thacher Hurd.

Another great book by Thacher Hurd is Moo Cow Kaboom.
A cow is kidnapped one night from her field by a space-alien cowboy who wants to ride her in an intergalactic rodeo on his distant home planet. At first, the cow is passive, but after the alien insults her, she dances around, wielding a red scarf like a matador, eventually giving the pesky alien a good kick. Realizing that she is more cow than they can handle, the aliens put her in a spaceship and send her whizzing back to her beloved barnyard.
