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 has learned the joys of playing outside and wants to go to the park tomorrow!

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!
