Mario Lopez writes a childrens book.
Mario Lopez, who wrote Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness, is putting out a children’s book with his sister, Marissa. “It’s called Mud Taco, and it’s based on Mario’s experiences growing up,” an insider close to the 34-year-old Extra host tells Life & Style.
His family couldn’t afford fancy toys, so Mario played Mud Taco. “For fun, he and Marissa would make tacos out of mud in the backyard, substituting worms for cheese, grass for lettuce and mud for meat,” explains the insider. “Everyone but Mario would dare Marissa to eat one, but she’d refuse. Now they’re writing a book about it to teach children to be strong and creative.”
The book, to be published by Penguin, is due out in 2009.
I’m writing a book too, it’s called Mud Pie. When I was a child, I made pies out of mud.
