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.

    Hello,

    My Name is Lee Wildish and I am UK based.

    I find Nature and people the biggest influence in my work and try to get as much character and expression into each piece of work as possible. Characters are the main subject of my work as I believe these can make and break a project.

    2 number 1 NYTimes bestsellers in children's books and a few more in the top ten. Also I have been fortunate to to win a few awards one being Red House Children's Book Award and have been shortlisted for a few as well overseas and in the UK.

    I will always try to refine my styles that hopefully appeal to a wide range of artistic and a commercial markets.

    I have illustrated many books for clients including: Random House UK and USA, HarperCollins USA Egmont, Hodder, Hachette, Usborne, Franklin Watts, Hodder, Simon Schulster UK and USA, Usborne, Scholastic and many more with a wide range of styles and media.

    Not all of my books will appear on here as you cannot link artists so you will have to perform a manual search.

    Thank you and I hope you enjoy my illustrations.

Super cute story involving drums and marshmallows- what could be better? Very cute story for little ones- they really enjoyed the message and this led into an inquiry based theme on sinking/floating, dissolving, etc

This is for my grandson for Christmas but I could not resist. The cover makes you want to open it and then all the wonder illustrations pull you into a child's world. The illustrations are so captivating I had to read it. My grandson will also love this I have no doubt.
