The museum exhibits do not sing, dance or jump around like video creatures. "Muse- umizing" your child may take time. As your child's museum guide, you are likely to find an enhanced enjoyment as you answer your child's ques- tions. This shared sense of delight in learning is a great gift that goes far beyond the museum's walls. ❑ Diane Jacobs is a Baltimore writer.

I'm Neil Rosenbaum. I've got a lot of friends, but my brother Brian is always around and he'll do whatever I tell him to do. He's great to bury in the sand at the beach. He's easy to tackle, flip over and use his head to bounce balls on. And he keeps coming back for more."
