The author describes the techniques needed for successful taxidermy. General readers, especially those in New York City, may also find it of interest. "How to Write a Ph.D. Thesis," by Eric Schulman.

The wonderful book of this name is long out of print. By spacial arrangement with the artist, we are reprinting an occasional series of illustrated poems from the book.

This weekly magazine-style show highlights contributions that kids make every day to their families, communities, and schools. For example, one of the stories covered surrounds Plugged In Enterprises (PIE), a business started by high school students in East Palo Alto, a low-income, high-crime rate city in California. These students develop and maintain Web sites for individuals and corporations, gaining income and experience at the same time. Another episode relates the story of Hawaiian high school student Ariel Gold, who initiated a theater program for elementary school kids with behavioral problems. At the end of each show, host Smith points viewers to the GreatKids Network Web site, where additional activities inspire kids to get involved in their communities and schools.
