The Picks:

Uncle Scrooge Around the World In 80 Bucks – This trade collects Uncle Scrooge issues #388-391. Riffing on the classic story “Around the World in 80 Days”, Uncle Scrooge accepts a challenge from rival John D Rockerduck to make it around the world with just $80 to spend. Can he do it, or will have to eat his hat? While Uncle Scrooge’s penny-pinching can make for humorous stories, in this tough economy it’s also a good way to show kids that there’s a lot that can be done with just a little, if you use some imagination. Without explicitly teaching, this book can show kids it’s not always how much money you have, but how you spend it.

Adventures In Cartooning Activity Book – A sort of companion book to Adventures in Cartooning, this book builds on the basic lessons presented in the original. The magic cartooning elf returns with the Knight, Edward the hungry horse as well as a whole new cast of characters to lead kids through a story that they help tell by doodling and completing comics activities. They aren’t just reading the story, they become a part of it! Fostering a child’s creativity and imagination are just as important as the “three ‘r’s”, and this book a great way to do it.
