Fox is adapting 9-year-old’s self-help book to the big screen.

The studio has acquired the film rights to How to Talk to Girls, an adorable 46-page self-help manual for dealing with the fairer sex, penned by Alex Greven, a fourth-grader from Colorado.

Alex’s book has become a buzzed about jewel, featuring pearls of wisdom like: Comb your hair and don’t wear sweats; Control your hyperness and cut down on sugar if necessary; A crush is like a love disease that can drive you mad; It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry but are like cars that need a lot of oil.

A screenplay is in the works.

Pretty good, Alex, but you left out the one about being sure to maintain fresh breath with the help of mints. Trust me, some guys really need to hear that one.
