Little Kids, Big City
Kids, if you've ever played the green card game Xeko, you already know it's education without frustration. You learn about endangered animals, even as you put the smackdown on your opponent. And you make your mom cry because she lost to an 8-year-old kid. Today, you can also play Xeko for a good cause.

Seattle artist and Bluebottle Gallery co-owner Matthew Porter doesn't just monkey around when it comes to painting adorable, wide-eyed animals. In his first book, "ABC," he painted an owl, a penguin and a zebra, among others. But in his new book, he gets serious about monkeys. So serious, in fact, he's created an entire "Monkey World" of illustrations from A to Z.
