That said, I'd recommend that anyone with young kids lean toward the cute and lovable GameCube. Nintendo has mastered that market, and by mid-December should have 20 titles ranging from new twists on old characters--Luigi's Mansion, a Mario spin-off--to Pikmin, the latest from Shigeru Miyamoto, the genius behind the Zelda franchise. The GameCube has abandoned its cartridge format; games now come on adorable mini...
...always on time. She never complains. And she's cute too. Meet CoWorker, the office robot. About 3 ft. high, this Pentium-powered bot uses sonar sensors to keep her from bumping into walls and people as she rolls along at a languid one mile an hour.

The stuffed animals are typical, but the beanie Hedwig is especially soft and cuddly...

Essayist David Sedaris' "Pretty Ugly," drawn by Ian Falconer, about a monster girl who makes a horribly cute face and gets stuck that way, hits a more child-like tone. Other contributors include Spiegelman himself, Jules Feiffer, Barbara McClintock and Kim Deitch on the secret life of cats...
