Sixclaws, there's a juvenile biography of Einstein that I would recommend for kids under ten - except for the fact that the narrator always refers to him as "Albert." I find that unnecessarily cutesy - if not downright condescending to the reader. Just because most kids don't go to old-fashioned, British-style boarding schools where kids call each other by their last names doesn't mean they get to refer to ADULTS by their first names. Why encourage that?

About the cake kerfluffle - I'm embarrassed that I didn't point this out back then:
You may attend a Bruce Springsteen concert, no matter how you identify yourself.
But you cannot tell him what to sing.
If you find Crid's 5-question cake quiz, keep that in mind there, too.
