I guess I was thinking along the lines of, Steven Levy's "Insanely Great" because I wish Kjeld were the Steve Jobs of toys. But perhaps he'd re-read that other little book... "Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas" by Seymour Papert and John Sculley Or maybe he'd enjoy something like, "101 Quality Toys You Can Make" [sigh] I dunno, if it were a LEGO-related book, it'd have to be left open to a page with their original Core Values prominantly visible. Oh Ok, I'll stop being sarcastic... I'd really like to leave a fun children's book, like Richard Scarry's "What Do People Do All Day?" It's still a favorite of mine. :-) -Suz (who has a fantasy of LEGO licencing Busytown)

Here's a question - for no special reason but fun: If you could leave -any- book on Kjeld's nightstand for him to read tonight, what would it be?
