SOCIAL WEBSITES HARM CHILDREN'S BRAINS

STUDENT ARRESTED FOR "PASSING GAS" AT SCHOOL

These are all real headlines screaming about the terrible stuff that's out there . . . stuff that's supposed to be BAD FOR YOU. But, honestly--is it?

Bad for You asks this question and many more--and not just about the things that modern parents fear like violent video games, social media, and dirty hands. Stuff in this book goes back centuries--all the way to Plato (yeah, that one) and his worries over the new "technology" of his time: the written word Kevin C. Pyle and Scott Cunningham cleverly expose the long-standing CAMPAIGN AGAINST FUN for what it really is: a bunch of anxious adults grasping at straws, ignoring scientific data, and blindly yearning for the good old days that never were. Bad for You presents the facts, figures, and a whole lot more--in eye-grabbing graphics--to debunk these myths and give kids the power to prove there's nothing wrong with having fun . . . or with being young.

Too many gifts?
Format: Hardcover
Answers the question "Too many gifts?" Greg Pizziol's hilarious illustrations show chaos developing as Lords A-Leaping, Pipers Piping, Maids A-Milking, Swans, birds, drummers, etc. all arrive at Elephant's overcrowded home. A must buy for this Christmas.
