Supercool history of the day: check out Wired Magazine’s interactive history of US Manga, in manga format.
Like all Japanese printed matter, manga reads from right to left, so you flip the top left hand page instead of the right.
It’s also available as a downloadable PDF.
So cool!
Bonus: Check out the accompanying article by Daniel H. Pink (A Whole New Mind), about Japan’s Manga industry.

Here’s an exciting new book from Sylvan Dell Publishing - written by Susan K. Mitchell and illustrated by Connie McLennan.
Imaginations will soar from the forest floor, up through the canopy and back down again, following the circle of life in this clever adaptation of the song The Green Grass Grew All Around. The jungle comes alive as children learn about a wide variety of the animals (jaguars, emerald tree boas, leafcutter ants, sloths, poison dart frogs, toucans, and bats) and plants (kapok trees, liana vines, and bromeliads) living in the lush Amazon rainforest. Search each page to find rainforest bugs and butterflies hiding in the illustrations.
