When you think of the best horror movies, the last thing that probably comes to mind is the publisher of The Poky Little Puppy, but that’s all about to change. Little Golden Books, a fixture in children's lives for the past 80 years, has played a pivotal role in fostering a lifelong love for reading. The publisher has consistently delivered literary gems such as The Little Red Hen or modern classic Richard Scarry's Best Little Word Book Ever! Recently, they've expanded their repertoire to include movie tie-in books. Now, a new release based on one of the best sci-fi movies and R-rated classic Alien is on the horizon, and its already generating considerable buzz on the internet.
Disney and Penguin Random House have unveiled the release of a children's book that diverges significantly from their conventional fairy tales and talking animals. Titled A Is for Alien: An ABC Book, the book presents a lighthearted interpretation of Ridley Scott’s iconic 1979 horror classic. Yes, the same film featuring a menacing extraterrestrial bursting from a crew member's chest cavity and a beleaguered crew navigating a dark spaceship. But fret not. You shouldn’t expect to see the scariest moments translated to the pastel-colored page.
