Where Are You Going, Manyoni?, by Catherine Stock (Morrow; $15). The pick of a good year: the author, a fine watercolor artist, follows a little Zimbabwean girl as she wakes up at dawn and walks miles through forests and grasslands to her school. Small children can have fun finding Manyoni's tiny figure in a grove of fig trees or waist-deep in riverside grass; older kids can learn to spot the civet cat, the yellow hornbill and the impalas, kudus and wildebeests she passes.

That's why we are seeing so many revivals and returns to proven stories." Michael David, who co-produced...
...both come home drunk and mercilessly attacking each other: Martha thinks George is a failure, George tells Martha that she drinks too much and "brays" too much. Neither has any qualms about involving two innocent guests, Nick and Honey, in their crazy, dangerous games. They spend from midnight till dawn exposing any hidden truth they can uncover that will draw blood. The truth that remains veiled is that only people who once loved (or still love) each other very much would know how to destroy each other like this; only once, Martha alludes to this, "[George] who can make...
