Un alieno sulla terra has been written for children aged 7 - 11 by a qualified and experienced foreign languages teacher but the lovely storyline and colourful pictures may also interest children learning Italian of other ages. After all, we all enjoy stories! In the story, an alien visits earth and he meets a girl called Anna Maria. The alien is curious why on the planet Earth there are so many things that they do not have on his planet, so Anna Maria explains why we have various things. This book is an ideal way of practicing the Italian words and phrases for general conversation, clothes weather phrases and activities. This is the Italian version of the story, and the story is also available in other languages. Also available by the same author is Cool Kids Speak Italian (books 1 & 2) and Photocopiable Games For Teaching Italian.
