Fast Food Reading

This is even better than spark notes for those who do not like to take the time to actually read stuff. Personally I am a fan of reading whole books but I thought this site was great. It is called "Book-a-minute bedtime" and gives a condensed version of some of our favorite childhood books. Here are a few of my favorites: http://www.rinkworks.com/bookaminute/bedtime.shtml

Once there was a caterpillar who ate holes in stuff and turned into a butterfly.

Hi kids. Four of you will undergo severe physiological distress that in the real world would get me sued, and one will be picked to be the Special One. (Charlie gets picked.)
