Conundrum: how do you get little boys to put down the Lego Star Wars video game and pick up a book? Why, it's very simple: take a wacky, fast-talking hotdog, add a super evil alien enemy, and smother everything with cheese. Trust me, they'll love it. (P.S. that cheese trick also works for broccoli...)
