(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ted Stearn. Lively informational writing, accompanied by humorous black-and-white cartoon sketches, discusses the importance of names and their meanings. Some topics include the history of first, last, and middle names; pet names; business and product names; nicknames; and the psychological impact of names. While the first chapter on baby names seems better suited to parents, kids will find a lot of current and quirky information. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
