Notes

"If you walk into the children's section of a large bookstore, you will be immediately struck by a curious phenomenon: there will be beautiful covers, lots of tempting gadgets, books with buttons, books with shoelaces, books with boxes, books with golden necklaces and pendants, books with games, books with tools, books with wheels."
