Lunchboxes, recess, and gym--oh my!

So they have to go to where all the cool kids learn--earthling school. This hilarious companion to Marshmallow Martians: Show and Smell will make kids look at life on Earth through fresh (googly) eyes.

This silly graphic chapter book with its ensemble of lovable martians will have kids ages 5-8 laughing out loud while gaining confidence in reading. Graphic chapter books serve as a great bridge to graphic novels and longer chapter books.
