Book Description
Take control of your digital living room! Make your TiVO, UltimateTV, XBox or GameCube do your bidding. We show you how to use these PCs in sheep's clothing to be king of your domain (or at least the area immediately surrounding your recliner).Like the plot from a circa 1950's sci-fi film, computerized look-alikes have surreptitiously replaced our VCRs, our video game consoles...even our televisions and stereos. While the advantages that these digital entertainment devices (DEDs) offer over their analog predecessors are immense - so is the potential for sensory and information overload. Unlike the benign appliances we grew up with, these new digital wonders demand much more from us than the simple ability to turn them on and off. It's time to take control, put them through their paces, show them who's boss.The... |

Reenact the adventures of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 with this fun and informative sticker book. Jam-packed with over 60 full-color stickers of the characters and situations from these popular Disney movies, the book is sure to be a hit with every fan! The eight-page booklet provides an outline for each image, with a descriptive caption. From the four-page insert, choose the correct sticker--it'll fit perfectly in the available space. For example, next to an outline of a sassy cowgirl is the caption "Yodeler: Jessie, the Yodeling Cowgirl, was Woody's spirited sidekick in the Woody's Roundup gang. She was once a little girl's favorite toy, but when the girl grew too old for dolls, Jessie suffered the heartbreak of being given away to charity." You'll find this bowlegged charmer inside the insert, waiting to join her caption.... |

Book Review
Count to 10, explore the alphabet, discover shapes, learn about opposites, and find the missing teddy bear in this big, colorful board book. Sesame Street's beloved Elmo guides young readers to lift more than 60 flaps to reveal humorous and edifying surprises. Over the word "dry," Grover gazes unsuspectingly into a garden hose. Turn the flap and guess what happens! Grover learns all about "wet." A towering pyramid of alphabet blocks contains objects starting with the same letter behind each flap: alligator, book, cookies. Large, sturdy flaps allow rough-tough toddler hands to clutch and pull as much as they want with minimal risk of tearing. Children will adore the bright, bold illustrations of Jim Henson's familiar Muppet characters and beg to return to this book again and again. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

From Publishers Weekly
Kline's book is not for parents looking for a quick read on how television influences their children's behavior, and what, if anything, they can do about it. While there is plenty of discussion about the impact of TV on children, this is a serious study written for an academic audience. The author examines the commercial link between television and the toy industry and the impact that connection has on children's culture. Kline argues that by co-opting children's television programing, toy manufacturers have altered the way children are socialized. Children today are much more likely to learn about society by playing with toys, particularly toys that are sold on television, than past generations were. Kline, a professor of communications at Simon Fraser University in Canada, does not criticize businesses for... |
