Green Gifts for Boys
by Desmond Williams, 12/01/08
Hip-hop and heroes and things that are furry. Bikes that go zoom, long-sleeved shirts free from worry. A wacky science show that’s inspiring. These are a few of boys’ favorite things:
Part book on tape (narrated by Grammy winning poet Ursula Rucker), part Broadway show (The story was just optioned by Pablo Piccasso!) the CD takes kids (and parents) on a musical journey that tells the story of 5 best dino friends.
A gift from Heifer’s Gift Catalog will provide animals and training to help families build a better future for themselves and their communities.
$20 to $500 from Heifer International (shares available)
Aquaman is a fictional comic book superhero who appears in DC Comics. Aquaman’s most famous (or infamous) power is his telepathic ability to communicate with/command oceanic life.
A peculiar-looking vehicle – a cross between a scooter and a bicycle called a PEDObike. In Europe it has long conquered parks, sidewalks, the marketplace, and children’s hearts.
Hip and trendy mini-rock stars can go green now. Boys will love this hip and trendy shirt from Lola and James, with its vintage rock tee and vintage plaid accents.
Radio Lab comes out in seasons of 5 shows. Currently, they are working on shows for Season 5, to come out in November, 2008. Today, Radio Lab is heard around the country on over 150 stations.
