May 2002 - Innovations Newsletter Spiderman is coming!Not the movie, the book. I’ve always had a soft spot for Looney Tunes, comic book heroes and fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast. In a few days, RWR Innovations will offer Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, Sesame Street, Looney Tunes and other new personalized books. Be on the lookout for a special email announcement when our new books are available. Personalized book you can make yourself: We discovered a great page on Huggies (the diaper people) web site. You enter your child’s name and a couple of his or her friend’s names. When you press enter, an e-book is generated with a cute personalized story, which you can print and save. http://www.huggies.com/happybabyfun/storybook/Index.asp The Button project: A project is under way to collect six million buttons to honor the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust, and an additional five million buttons to remember the “Enemies of the State” who perished under Nazi rule. The buttons will become part of a permanent glass sculpture in Peoria, IL. Sounds like a very ambitious project to me. Here’s where you can get more information. http://www.buttonproject.com/ Learning About Animals: Here’s some sites devoted to learning about cheetahs: (Compliments of the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper.) http://www.cheetahspot.com - Learn about cheetahs http://www.awf.org/animals/cheetah.html - American Wildlife Foundation cheetah page. http://www.cheetah.co.za/ - South African web site. http://www.pbs.org/kratts/world/africa/cheetah - PBS site Free online classes are also available at: http://www.barnesandnobleuniversity.com and http://www.universalclass.com Do You Make Your Own Bread?
