Also important is avoiding dryness. Fatty food is usually moist, and for consumers accustomed to gooey cookies and premium ice cream, something that's both dry and fat-free might as well be tree bark. Developers thus fortify foods with substances known as humectants--glycerin, sucrose or similar ingredients that hold moisture...
...tale about a Somewhat Intelligent, Largely Laconic Yeti, i.e. a SILLY. In a twist that will appeal to the wistful imaginings of independence not just limited to children, the yeti turns out to be a little girl completely covered in snow who lives in a cave, happily eating bark soup and marshmallows. For younger readers comic strip artist Patrick McDonnell, of "Mutts," turns in a charming confection about the moon's rather silly fear of the dark. Other contributions include the ghoulish tale of a children's graveyard party, written by Neil Gaiman ("Sandman: Endless Nights") and drawn by Gahan...
...Both the "Little Lit" and "Little Vampire" series make for smart introductions to reading comics. While "Little Lit" will appeal to early readers, the wit of "Little Vampire" will delight their slightly older siblings.

Modern navigation and communications technology, such as the satellite-based global-positioning system, or GPS, have been installed with no apologies. Ports are cut in the ship's sides so that it can be propelled with paddles if there's no wind. The toilet, at least, can't be surpassed for authenticity: a meter-square box attached to the ship's starboard side, with...
...novel soon made the 23-strong list of Booker candidates (Fischer's didn't), and last week London bookmakers had it 8 to 1 to win, trailing only J.M. Coetzee's Elizabeth Costello. So how is the book? The reassuring news is that Yellow Dog's bark is far better than the back-biting. Yes, this dog can hunt. The book is classic Amis, energetically written, peopled with colorfully named lowlifes, suffused with violence and physical decrepitude, whirring with plotlets and straining to tackle big themes. It's the story of Xan Meo, a successful London actor-writer and doting...
