Troubles

The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores (Berenstain Bears)

HarperEntertainment, 2005

Start a conversation with you child
I love all the Berenstein Bears books. They can provide a good starting point for a conversation with your child. Don't look to these books for answers on how to handle a problem. They aren't meant for that. In this one, we see what happens when Mama gets tired of ...

Maus II: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began (Maus)

Art Spiegelman

Pantheon, 1992

Painting in order to Avoid Self-Portraits
At first glance, Maus might seem like yet another attempt to spin the genocide of the Jewish people into something demeaning. I have seen people turn and walk away from the selection because of that, and when I suggested this as required reading in a class it was ...

Lee Smolin

Mariner Books, 2007
