The book will be called ‘Mario And Baby Gia’ and will hit stores in September to coincide with little Gia Francesca’s first birthday.

Details of the book are top secret — we can only guess Mario Lopez will write about his experiences of fatherhood with his adorable baby daughter. And we can’t wait to read it!

Mario And Baby Gia is being published by Celebra Children’s Books — part of the Penguin publishing empire.

It’s not the 37-year-old Extra! host’s first literary effort, but it’s his first crack at the children’s market — he’s only written fitness books before, including Knockout Fitness, Extra Lean and Extra Lean Life.

Do you think he’ll make a good kids’ author, HollyMoms?
