Book Description
To hear politicians talk, one would think the entire purpose of school is to assess children rather than educate them. Excitement about learning doesn't seem to be on anyone's agenda. The villains are those who profit from testing mania, make the tests, coach for testing, publish the books on which the tests are based, and believe that the results matter. Children are being taught things they don't need to know and nobody seems to care. Scrooge Meets Dick and Jane is a cautionary tale of the dangers of educational testing and outmoded curriculum design. Bringing a new twist to Charles Dickens' classic story, A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is recast as the head of an educational testing service. He is faced with the ghosts of Education Past, Present, and Future as well as his former mentor, John Dewey. As he observes a horrible future, he comes to understand the harm he has done and its repercussions on the school system. His time with the ghosts and John Dewey leads him to a dramatic turnaround regarding schools and scholastic teaching. It haunts him until he decides to undo the damage he has done to children all over the world.

Book Description
The third volume focuses on the early 1950s, universally considered one of Carl Barks's very peak periods. In"A Christmas for Shacktown," a rare 32-pager, the Ducks raise money to throw a Christmas party for the children of the slums (depicted with surprisingly Dickensian grittiness). Longer stories include "The Golden Helmet" and "The Gilded Man." There are 10 of Barks's 10-pagers, as well as another nine of Barks's rarely seen one-page Duck gags, all painstakingly recolored to match the original coloring as exactly as possible, and supplemented with an extensive series of notes and behind-the-scenes essays by the foremost Duck experts in the world.
