Marshmallows for Martians

George

by Adam Guillain, Charlotte Guillain, Lee Wildish (Illustrator)

A boy called George had a marvellous idea One night as he gazed at the stars, 'I'll go and find out what sweets Martians like best.' So he planned his first mission to Mars. Join George, a young and courageous explorer with all the pluck of a little Indiana Jones, as he blasts into space to seek life on Mars! With his homemade rocket and map of the stars, George is sure the Martians will be easy to find. But when he lands, the Martians can't be seen. George is alone … or so he thinks. Could that really be … a parade of alien musicians? Marshmallows for Martians is the perfect rhyming read aloud book for boys and girls aged 3+ – especially ones who like space, aliens and sweets! George's first adventure Spaghetti with the Yeti was shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Sheffield Children's Book Award. Ideal for fans of Aliens Love Underpants and Supertato .

My kids and I just love this series. The illustrations are so cute and the rhyming story. It's great for kids who like adventure or have a great imagination.

On this trip George builds a rocket and sets off to Mars to deliver candy to the aliens and martians. The marshmallows prove to be especially appreciated by the martians who end up using them as ear plugs to escape the other noisy aliens.

We've read Spaghetti with the Yeti, Socks for Santa, and Muffins for Mummies...they're all so cute! We highly recommend this series.
