How the Marshmallow Martians^TM were created: Marshmallow Martians were originally created by Dr. Alec Alexander when his first daughter needed to come up with a science project in fifth grade. Together at a supermarket, they bought some marshmallows, toothpicks and large lasagna noodles used for space ships along with ribbon candy and other decorative items. They made the first Marshmallow Martians space station by first putting the marshmallows together with the toothpicks, giving them faces and sticking them on noodles for flying space ships. Then they put everything in a large snow saucer for their space station.  A picture of the Marshmallow Martian space station made the local newspaper and the Marshmallow Martians were born around 1990. After that Dr. Alexander told both daughters Marshmallow Martian stories for many years and two particular stories came to life in the Marshmallow Martian book series (above). You can read these beautifully illustrated stories made using award-winning state-of-the-art software with out-of-this-world colors available on Amazon,com along with the Marshmallow Martian Coloring & Activity book and puzzles (coming soon). These books received excellent reviews when they first were published in 2000.

Editorial Book Reviews

James Cox, Editor in Chief, Midwest Book Review - Children's Bookwatch (June, 2000)

"Alex Alexander invented the Marshmallow Martian characters with his young daughter for the purpose of showcasing the possibility of life on other planets. My Fantastic Dream is a colorful delightful story for young reader and features Molly and her brother Michael wondering about life in the other worlds and encountering a variety of alien fold such as Squishy & Puffy, Spacey, Crystal, Heavenly, Star, Gem, Eclipse, Wizard and others. Also highly recommended is Alec Alexander's My Magical Christmas Dream."

Tom Person, Editor-in-Chief, Laughing Bear Newletter- Dallas, TX (July, 2000)

"My Fantastic Dream and My Magical Christmas Dream have entertaining and positive stories that encourage kids to use their imagination. The illustrations are big and colorful and the text allows children to practice reading the story themselves. This would be a great stocking stuffer."

Ellen Cunnif, Principal, Wellseley, MA: (July, 2000)

"I enjoyed reading the Marshmallow Martian Books. I offer the following observations of children's reactions to the story"

- The pictures are attractive to young children because of the use of primary colors.

- The dialogue is very kid-oriented without violating language conventions.

- In most cases, there is not too much text on a page. Thus a developing reader would be able to read the text with minimal support.

- Children can relate to the storyline. Fantasy that is simple enough to be accessible to young children is difficult to find: Martians, school, Christmas, a playground, dreams, peer perceptions, to name just a few.
