Vintage ALF Mission to Mars (1987) — Robert Loren Fleming | Ken Kimmelman Illustrated, TV Tie-In Children’s Sci-Fi Humor Picture Book

A bright, neon-’80s blast of nostalgia: ALF: Mission to Mars—a classic TV tie-in picture book with big cartoon energy and lots of laugh-out-loud chaos.

ALF gets it in his furry head that he’s headed to Mars, and the Tanner family is left to deal with the fallout (and the empty fridge). Illustrated by Ken Kimmelman with bold, colorful scenes that feel straight out of Saturday-morning TV.
