The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups: The Second File

David Wisniewski. HarperCollins Publishers, $18.99 (48pp) ISBN 978-0-688-17854-3

David Wisniewski continues his conspiracy theory in The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups: The Second File, explaining to youngsters the ""real reason"" that grown-ups want them to eat a good breakfast (otherwise your stomach ""throws a tantrum"") and not watch TV late at night (""so the actors can take a break!""). Once again, Wisniewski's meticulous cut-paper illustrations underscore his comical words of caution. (Aug.)
