JULIE ANDREWS Mary Poppins has been writing kids' books since the Material Girl was reading them. With Dumpy and the Firefighters, Andrews gets her own imprint at HarperCollins and teaches fire safety with a spoonful of sugar...
...Dunkin’ Donuts favorites are present and accounted for—from cinnamon to powdered sugar to chocolate glazed—and all with the same reliable taste you remember from high school student council meetings. Though the dough is bone-dry, the sugars, glazes and frostings that coat each donut choice make the bready interior seem irrelevant. A warning against the strawberry frosted donuts: the pink icing is oh-so-cute, but the sprinkles are sugar overload. Don’t eat without milk nearby...
While many may gravitate toward classics like French crullers and Boston Kremes, the seasonal choices are the way to go this fall. Try the pumpkin donut, a muffin-like concoction with a gentle glaze of sugar, or the maple-frosted version. Adventurous diners should sample the apple cider donut, which actually tastes like the traditional Thanksgiving drink, albeit mixed with batter and deep-fried in lard.

But health-savvy drinkers should choose the low-fat versions of these milks. And be sure to check the serving size on the label--many of those 14-or 16-oz. bottles are actually considered two servings, so drinking the whole bottle means consuming twice the fat, calories and sugar. --By Lisa McLaughlin
