    CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
      
    Dragon Ball Z is a Japanese anime television series that is part of the larger Dragon Ball media franchise and is a sequel to the 1986 Dragon Ball series. It adapts the latter 325 chapters of the original Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. 
      
    The series follows the adult adventures of Son Goku as he defends Earth from various villains, including aliens, androids, and magical creatures. It also focuses on the lives and development of Goku's son Gohan and rivals Piccolo and Vegeta. 
      
    The creation of Dragon Ball Z was partly influenced by a desire to shift away from the "cute and funny" image of the previous Dragon Ball anime, with a focus on a more serious tone. The editor of the series felt the original producer was missing this more serious tone in the newer series.

    In this, the second installment in the How to Steer Your Kid series, M. P. MacDougall returns with a cast of irreverent characters and hilarious, only slightly embellished stories.  
    There’s something for everyone who ever grew up in a somewhat weird family. MacDougall relates a variety of slapstick adventures - from taxidermy gone horribly wrong, to near-drownings while encased in a sleeping bag, to being hunted by a mythical monster with a sadistic sense of humor. Redneck neighbors and red-hot peppers are no match for the erstwhile Jet Screamer. Suffering personal injury to his extremities and personal insults to his psyche, MacDougall survives it all with a steady diet of Meat Sandwiches!
