Tom the Dancing Bug, IN WHICH Uncle Sam wonders what it means when he keeps catching his wife in increasingly revealing lies.
How to tell when someone is lying
FOR THE KIDS IN YOUR LIFE, AND THEIR SUMMER READING: Get Ruben Bolling's hit book series for kids, The EMU Club Adventures.
"The EMU Club inhabits exactly the world I always hoped to live in when I was 12, when the answer to questions like 'Where did I put my toy' led inevitably to alien conspiracies and secret underground tunnels. A book for the curious and adventurous!" -Cory Doctorow, author of "For the Win" and "Little Brother"
"The type of non-stop action and improbably hilarious fun that only a kid could dream up. … The EMU Club's adventures perfectly capture the intersection of imagination and wonder – the crossroad that's so often found in cardboard boxes, pillow forts and backyards everywhere." -GeekDad

The poor thing drove all over Wisconsin only to leave emptyhanded. The horror! The… READ THE REST
Moonage Daydream is a cosmic portrait of Earth's favorite relatable alien, David Bowie
Brett Morgen nails it again! Morgen's previous certified hits include Jane, The Kid Stays in the Picture, and most famously, Cobain: Montage of Heck. The former, a project awarded to him mostly by the merits of his fanboy enthusiasm, surely launched him into this equally ambitious project of encapsulating the decades-long career of a modern-day… READ THE REST
