Postmodernism comes to kid lit! But to children it will seem more like good subversive fun. The conceit is that the book's illustrator, Ned--who is often depicted hard at work--can't paint fast enough to stay ahead of the reader. So a cartoon stand-in for Lendler keeps turning up to urge the reader to slow down for Ned's sake and to please, please not turn the page yet. Now, what youngster can resist defying such a request? The narrative, a standard knight-rescuing-an-imprisoned-princess tale, unravels ridiculously as the overwhelmed Ned is forced...

Smart move. A Manning vs. Manning Super Bowl may be a long shot this season. The Colts are the better bet, having won their first 10 games in a row and a near lock on home-field advantage in the AFC play-offs, where the RCA Dome's fast artificial turf will make Indy's no-huddle offense almost impossible to stop. Still, the surprising Giants (7-3 going into last weekend) have a good chance at a postseason slot in the tight NFC East. And the conference is as wide open as Terrell Owens' yap--football fans can surely...
