That's exactly what you get with How to Clone a Sheep by Hazel Richardson and Illustrated by Andy Cooke. This fun little book is a first-rate introduction to genetics, DNA and cloning aimed at kids in about the 4th through 8th grades.

		<description><![CDATA[The Nexi Robot by Toney Allman will fascinate you from beginning to end. It relates the quest of MIT robotics professor Cynthia Breazeal to build a social robot, one that learns like a person does and that interacts with people in a social way. Much different than tool and task oriented robots that dominate the robotics field, social robots are designed to learn from people and interact with people, understanding and showing emotions.

		<description><![CDATA[I have a growing suspicion that we are cultivating a culture of poverty, which has a hallmark of racial and ethnic minorities, but by no means confined in its association with only minorities, that greatly influences the social and cognitive development of our children, and that it is an increasing outcome of these lifestyle choices that are in play. The attack must be on the cultural factors and not just handing a kid a book (though I'm completely in favor of that!). For all the sniping at middle class values and culture that we often see, they result in a more nurturing and healthful environment for our children that leaves them better prepared for the own lives as adults.]]></description>
