Kids' Stuff

Mark has kids.  He likes when his kids read.  He also likes when his kids learn valuable life lessons from the stories they choose.  In fact, when Mark thinks his kids need to learn something particular, and a proper book addressing that subject isn't available, he's been known to write one himself.  That his kids tend to prefer books written by other authors doesn't dissuade him; although it does hurt just a little.
