I Am Too Absolutely Small For School
Little Lola, the heroine from I WILL NEVER NOT EVER EAT A TOMATO, maintains that she is too little to go to school despite her parents' admonishments to the contrary. Her kindly brother Charlie, who narrates this story, finds Lola a hard sell. When he notes that she can send cards to her friends if she can write, she counters that she prefers to talk on the phone. She insists that knowing how to count to a hundred in unnecessary, since she can already count to ten, which is high enough. It's only when Charlie tells her that her imaginary friend is going off to school and will be lonesome without her that she relents. Imaginative collages of cartoon drawings, photographs, and colorful cloth illustrate the story.

Nightmare (DVD)
The Korean horror film renaissance continues with NIGHTMARE (GAWI), directed by Ahn Byung-Ki (PHONE). Hye-jin and her friends carry with them a horrible secret about their past misdeeds, terrible enough that it drove one of them, Eun-ju, to commit suicide. Some time later, however, the friends begin to die one-by-one in gruesome ways. Hye-jin comes to suspect that the ghost of Eun-ju has returned for revenge, but is it possible that the same guilt that afflicted her is causing the friends to do themselves in? NIGHTMARE is atmospheric, ambiguous slasher film that bears similarity to PROM NIGHT and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.

The Jumbo Duct Tape Book
Did you know that duct tape can turn any item of clothing into rainwear? That duct tape over a computer screen will keep your kids from surfing naughty sites on the Web? That a perfect solution for those easy-to-lose TV remotes is to duct tape them to your arm? (Not only won't you lose it, you'll never have to relinquish control over it, either!) But can you also believe that Jim and Tim's creative ideas for duct tape spawned not just one bestselling book, but three, plus a calendar? And now the ultimate collection?
With two-thirds of the material drawn from their previous books and calendars and one-third all-new, THE JUMBO DUCT TAPE BOOK is pure nuttiness to the nth degree. The premise is right there, on page one: One rule can get you through life. It if ain't stuck and it's supposed to be, duct tape it. But of course it's the intrepretation that counts-like duct taping the gas pedal for cruise control, or duct taping marbles to your pressure points for instant reflexology. And...
