These radio controlled little-big-rigs are about 1:55 scale (3-3/8" long) and maneuver just like the road warriors, but on a kitchen table. We think they're the smallest working truck tractors in captivity. Each includes an internal rechargeable battery pack (recharges in under a minute). You add (3) "AA" batteries for the controller. We'll pick from assorted colors, and the pack of (2) will have different frequencies so they can race and crash into each other, because what fun are they otherwise?

Time was, kids amused themselves with a button in the middle of a string-pull the string's ends apart, watch the button spin. For today's kids, an electronic version which works on the same principle: a 4-1/8" dia plastic disk with pulsing red, blue, green and yellow LEDs and (2) whistling slots to make nice a buzzing, cicada-like noise when the disk spins. Includes (3) replaceable button-cell batteries. Way, way more entertaining!

and the fruit of their union is the HoverDisc". It's a giant (26" dia x 6" thick), fat, disk-shaped mylar balloon with a spring steel rod around the inside circumference. Fill it with air and sail it. Fill it with helium and tether it to the included 5-foot elastic "hoverband" for a flying yo-yo. Does nice aerobatic tricks and comes with instructions and some decorative stick-ons. We'll pick (1) of (5) colorful graphic styles.

Titled "The Field and Forest Handy Book," this volume has been justifiably in print since 1906. Written by Daniel C. "Uncle Dan" Beard, the founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone and one of the founders of the BSA, it's a compendium of eternally relevant woodland lore, from building cabins, sleds, boats, and bridges to camping in swamps. The only part we skipped was on how to cook a muskrat. (We know a place that delivers.) Loaded with illustrations. In soft cover from David Godine's Nonpareil Books; 428 pp.

…you'll love the ball. Much more pleasing than a cube, this 3-1/4" dia plastic sphere puzzle, called the K-ball, asks you to match up multiple stripes, circle quadrants, and colors. In assorted bright colors, we think it's tougher than the cube to solve, but much more attractive even when you can't, plus you can play catch with it.
