Battle strategies? Cool, but it won't apply to all kids. Make it something like bully avoiding strategies or blow-up-your-annoying-sib-cause-they-are-just-so-useless strategies.

Yes Heero, bk stands for book.
Why don't u make it more friendlier? Er, put the strategies in more kid-friendly lingo. Or something like that.

Gorilla's Guerilla! How much more kid friendly can it get? A cartoon gorilla teaching kids how to set traps to avoid any predators. a lot less kids would be getting kidnapped of they had this book. And bullying will die down somewhat. Not to mention it's highly educational. I suppose I can add in a pop-up or two. That may help.
And if you want to know about my hair, just ask Trowa. He has a special blend of hair gel he makes himself. That's where the real advice should be directed to.

I hope it isn't the hair gel like in There's Something About Mary. Special blend *snort*
Haha, I still can't get over the kids book. So basically you are saying that the kids should set traps to catch the kidnappers? Isn't that counterintuitive? Or ironic? Or something of that ilk? I'd buy it just for the pop-ups.
Personally, I think you should use the Pilots as a basis for the illustrations. Quatre and Trowa can serve as models for the kids, Duo can be the bumbling kidnapper. Can Wufei be your sidekick? Heero the Gorilla. Actually, yeah, this is a fabulous idea, Heero.

Hm... well, not all kids need to be involved in a war, but when time coems, your "book" would be useful...somehow. Why don't you just make a bok about hacking or something? I'll be the first to buy a copy!
Question: Japanese lesson time; does "nandemonai" mean "don't worry" and "uta" mean "song"? How about "story"?
Sorry, the Japanese dictionaries I come across are really expensive. I wanna learn so much!!!

Hm... just wondering...have you read the book "Ender's game"? Quite a powerful book and it deals with children's role in wars.

HA Ender's Game is one hell of a book! If you havn't allready I would suggest reading the Shadow series. It's style is much more like Enders Game, unlike "Speaker for the Dead" and the original sequals. And Bean is the main character. Go Bean!
If anyone has any sugestions on good Sci-fi books, I just finished Dune and need something new to pass the time with. Actually, doesn't even have to be science fiction I just need a good read.

Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Nothing beats that for convoluted plot twists and cool characters. I've never read either Dune or Ender's Game but fans of one seem to like the others. I warn you that you will get sucked into them and feel the need to read them over and over and over and count days until new installments come out. I've been addicted to that series for over 10 years now.

The Foundation series is pretty good. I can't remember the author at this moment, but I'll look for it.
