Rewriting the Cold War with Mikhail Gorbachev as the hero.

Parker loves these Time Warp trio books.

In my case, I was the Neanderthal and my mother the Cro-Magnon.

The animation in this updating of the Red Riding Hood story is really hideous, and the flip attitude is grating, but the kids loved it. Go figure.

A bracing Brin-like approach to competition and education.
