As a young child, I somehow crossed paths with Baaa. It's a children's book about the self destructive avarice and exploitation of the human race, ending (an starting) with their harrowingly void demise. This was likely the birth of my vast cynicism and I forever curse and praise this book. Go ahead, read it at Amazon.

I didn't see that in The Giving Tree. I guess the point is, that giving those five minutes of luke warm comfort is really worth taking a beating for.

Now I want to dust off my old Silverstein books to check some of my old favorites. "Sara Cynthia Silva Soudt, would not take the garbage out." And that one about turning into a TV.

Good find l0ser. I'm hopeful, after how well they did Bridge to Terabithia. But Matt, what do you mean about MTV films? Please tell me they aren't getting their hands into this.
