Book Description
Joey Papagopolis has a pet chameleon named Larry. He also has a Big Red Button that has the power to transport people through time and space. If Joey had just one or the other, he would be fine. But having a chameleon named Larry AND a Big Red Button? Well, that's probably too much for any ten-year-old boy to handle--but it does make for some really great adventures! This time, Joey and Larry go on a Big Red Button adventure filled with crazy twists and turns that take them to outer space and back--but not before landing on a train (and in a cup of tea), staring into the mouth of a hungry Venus Flytrap, nearly getting blown away by a Martian dust storm, and coming to close for comfort with a giant bug in New Zealand. Do chameleons really serve as guide dogs for the blind? Is it really easier to juggle on Mars? Will Larry ever get something to eat? (He thinks that giant bug looks really tasty!) The answer to these questions and more await you in Out of this World! Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.

Book Description
You would think that once young Joey and his pet chameleon Larry safely returned from their first Big Red Button time-travel adventure, they would want to breath a big sigh of relief. But they can't. And why is that? Because breathing would be dangerous to their health in the toxic wasteland otherwise known as Joey's bedroom. Whooo-boy, that place stinks to high heaven! And now Joey's mom has laid down the law -- until his room is cleaned up, the Big Red Button is off limits. But accidents happen, especially with loopy lizards stumbling about while under the influence of dirty clothes hamper fumes. That's right -- while trying to help Joey clean, Larry mistakenly steps on the Big Red Button, sending him and Joey off on a new, three-stop time-travel adventure. Why does Joey feel so sheepish about retrieving his Big Red Button from the White House lawn? What do you call a one-horse town after the one horse leaves? Can you be cooped up for eating chicken with a fork? All is revealed in THE HORRIBLE, CATASTROPHIC, MESSY ROOM DISASTER! Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.

Book Description
It’s the day before Christmas, and Joey Papagopolis and his pet chameleon, Larry, are so excited… except for one really important thing. Joey forgot to let Santa know what he wanted this year — a George Washington presidential action figure. Since it’s too late to send a letter, and Joey doesn’t know Santa’s email address, there’s only one thing to do: Go on a Big Red Button holiday adventure! Although Joey’s Big Red Button can send them through time and space, rarely do he and Larry ever travel in a straight line. So instead of making a non-stop flight to the North Pole, they end up taking detours to Arizona and Greece, learning a little history about Santa and helping him out along the way. Does Joey get his Christmas wish? Does Joey’s mom really have awful taste in holiday sweaters? Were those sugarplums or worms and bugs dancing in Larry’s head? Find out now in HELPING SANTA! Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.

Book Description
The seemingly amorphous phenomenon we call "globalization" involves concrete realities that make it a major source of social change in our contemporary world. Bringing globalization alive for students, this book uses examples and perspectives from economics, technology, and mass media to show how globalization is producing unprecedented impacts on education and culture. Education at all levels--from primary school to university education--is undergoing a world wide transformation of its objectives, values, and practices. New technologies and communication practices have promoted the West's optimism that market forces can replace the former governmental responsibilities for social welfare and the inclusion of diverse cultures. New emphasis on competition, quality control, parental choice, marketing, and the linkage of education to work means that schools all over the world face innovations and challenges to established practices. Meanwhile, the worldwide expansion of entertainment and advertising media convey notions of individualism and consumerism that are changing definitions of gender and solidarity among social groups. This book offers a vivid introduction to these complex changes, recognizing the role of the state while explaining new forces like transnational corporations and nongovernmental organizations. Stromquist points to governmental and school policies that can actively shape the future of education at a time of rapid change.
