With lively illustrations, this 64 page book (aimed at 10-14 year olds) explores topics in television, music making, magazines, comic books, newspapers, video games & the net and more. (Read review)
My major complaints about this text are:
- there are no real life examples, like ads or photos, for students to relate to
- no reference to movies (kids' favorite thing to watch)
-the authors failed to provide links to other resources/websites for students to explore
- lots of facts and figures are provided at the bottom of the pages, but no attribution is provided

teaches children how to handle the scary things they see on television. Teddy Bear turns to Mommy Bear after seeing something frightening, and together they go through a series of calming, soothing rituals - strategies that Mommy used with her mother to overcome fear when she was a child. Teddy feels much better and goes to sleep happily at the end. "Parent Pointers" give parents additional guidance.
