Ree-dic-u-lous! And actress Danica McKellar \u2014 who is a former child star from the hit sitcom The Wonder Years \u2014 tells us why in this fabulous new go-girl book! McKellar, in addition to being one of the most adorable, endearing TV kids ever, also happens to be quite the math whiz, though it certainly didn&amp;#039;t start out that way. She recalls a very painful memory of blanking on a math quiz when she was younger, partly because she had no confidence in her ability to do math. And throughout the book, she not only makes learning the basic principles of math easy to understand, but she gives real-life examples of how math is applicable in our lives, of real-world women who&amp;#039;ve become successful because of their math abilities, how math is actually cool(!), and how girls are every bit as capable of excelling in math as boys are. So there! There are also quizzes, horoscopes, and info on the fabulous McKellar, who, while still a working actress, also graduated summa cum laude from UCLA as a math major, and even coauthored a paper in which she, a fellow student, and a professor proved a math theorem.

Samaritan&amp;#039;s Purse&amp;#039;s Operation Christmas Child is one of our most favorite holiday charities, and anytime you get the chance to do something really amazing for someone less fortunate, it&amp;#039;s really also a gift to yourself. This program involves taking a regular shoe box, filling it with small gifts for a boy or girl between the ages of 2 and 14, wrapping it, and dropping it off at a local center, where it will then be shipped to one of thousands of locations around the world and into the very grateful hands of a child whose life will be truly touched by your generosity. The Website lists local centers where the boxes can be dropped off, gives specific instructions on how to pack the boxes, and even includes a list of items the children might enjoy, like small games, toys, school supplies, combs, toothbrushes, coloring books, jump ropes, and other small treasures, as well as a handwritten note from you. This would make a terrific project for you and friends or family to do together, or for a group project with members of a sports team, youth group, or school club, with goodies that can be readily purchased at local sales and 99-cent stores. Isn&amp;#039;t it great to think of how such a small gesture could change a child&amp;#039;s life this holiday season?
