This charmingly illustrated children's picture book is all about the importance of having fun with "real toys" like bikes, balls, and dolls—instead of computers and electronics!

Charmingly illustrated picture book for children aged 5 to 7
A little boy makes friends with space aliens
Positive message: Have fun with real toys like bikes, balls, and dolls—instead of computers and electronics
Illustrator Thai My Phuong is a talented Vietnamese illustrator and social activist; as founder of the Thai Nghia Musician Scholarship, she works to support underprivileged and talented children who live in remote provinces

Written for kids aged 5-7, Mario and the Aliens tells the sweet story of a little boy who makes friends with space visitors.

Little Mario is a computer geek who is on the computer day and night. He will not leave his computer.

Suddenly he hears a commotion in the back yard—the aliens have landed!

These creatures have heard about all the cool things that earth kids do to play, and they want to have fun too. Since the aliens are tired of computers and electronic stuff, Mario must show them how to play with traditional toys.

Even though Mario doesn't usually ride his bike or play ball, he soon learns how much fun it is, along with his alien friends.

Satisfied at having discovered the secrets of earth children, the aliens return to their planet, while Mario learns the joys of playing outside.

The perfect picture book story for the screen-obsessed kid in your life, Mario and the Aliens will have everyone wanting to get outside and play!
