>How about tyler and his solve-a-matic machine, by Jennifer Bouani? I read it to my class and they all loved it. We are introducing it as mandatory reading in our school. It's a fun fantasy story that teaches kids how o be entrepreneurs and business leaders, it is a story of attaining dreams and success.
