The Children's Audiomagazine about Big Ideas
David Strohm
More by David Strohm

Remember when ''current events'' meant headline news items like presidential elections, Chernobyl, and perhaps a political scandal? In today's world, though, a world seemingly much smaller than the one we grew up in, there are so many more issues that affect our planet and stir our sensibilities. Many of these issues -- some to celebrate, some to work to change -- are ones that an educated child can comprehend on a worthwhile level. We adults know that we will soon be handing over the world we've created to our children, and we want them to be as informed as possible about that world. If this rings true to you, Boomerang, The Children's Audiomagazine about Big Ideas, fills this need and then some!

These are CDs that kids will spirit away and listen to in their bedrooms. They're so interesting that adults, too, will want to hear them (as opposed to tolerating hearing them). Each issue is different, of course, but the format remains basically the same, and kids do most of the talking. ''Turning Points'' features a Boomerang reporter time-traveling back to a great moment in world history and interviewing the likes of Nikola Tesla, Sitting Bull, William Shakespeare, and Ted Williams. ''Money'' uses the backdrop of Freddie's Rhubarb and Banana Sandwich Stand for primers on taxes and social security. ''The Big Idea'' tackles a current event such as the new China, space exploration, trade, immigration, and time travel. Other selections can include Tucker Jones (the neighborhood detective), ''Dave Schmave'' with his stories and musings, and various special features. Boomerang is like Lay's Potato Chips for the older elementary school-age child: you can't listen to just one (and you'll listen to the same ones again and again).

Here is a sampling of some of the topics you'll find in this collection: Science and Belief, Edward R. Murrow, broadcasting, Mexico, Spying and Privacy, Sitting Bull, moral courage, deer, and Henry Ford.

Canadian Shipping:
We ship Canadian orders via international surface or air. Payment must be in U.S. funds. The order recipient will be responsible for any duty/custom charges when the package arrives in Canada.

International Shipping:

We hope to offer you international ordering online soon. In the meantime, you may call 619-670-5200, fax 619-670-5203, or email us at customerservice@chinaberry.net with your order to find out what your shipping charge would be. If you are having your order shipped internationally, UPS requires that you include a phone number for them to contact for delivery information.

We ship international orders (except Canadian) via UPS International Air courier only. While this ensures your order will arrive very quickly (3-5 business days), it is also very expensive. (Shipping generally begins at about $50.00 for a one pound package and goes up with weight.)

As an affordable alternative, many of our international customers have their orders shipped to a friend or relative in the U.S who will forward the orders on to them.

If you are ordering by phone, please call our customer service line, 1-888-481-6744, between 6am and 6pm Pacific time.
