A huge circular object appears one April morning over a neighborhood in Rome and sows panic: residents, teachers, police and army believe it is a Martian invasion. Only the children Paolo and Rita discover that the supposed flying saucer is not an alien spacecraft, but something much sweeter than anyone imagines.

Recommended reading from age 8.
Giovanni Francesco "Gianni" Rodari was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his works of children's literature, notably Il romanzo di Cipollino. For his lasting contribution as a children's author, he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970. He is considered Italy's most important 20th-century children's author, and his books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.
