Apparently a former astronaut is writing a new science book that puts a positive spin on being a lab mouse, and the article’s author proposes some new kids’ books along the same lines. My favorites are “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Control Group”, and “Where the Statistically Valid Things Are”.
I took a stab at some proposed additions:

[li]“The Velveeta-force-fed Rabbit”[/li][li]“How the Grinches at PETA Stole Thousands of Dollars Worth of Lab Animals and Almost Ruined My Career - Now Give Them Back You Filthy Granola-eating Hippies”[/li][li]“Where the Red Growth Grows”[/li][li]“Richard Scarry’s Big Book of Pharmacological Side Effects”[/li][/ul]
“The Hunger Games” - by Ivan Petrovich Pavlov
“Schrödinger’s Cat In The Hat (Open the book and find out if he’s dead or alive!)” ETA: ninja’d by pravnik!!
“Oh, the Places You’ll Go (participating in CIA-funded LSD studies)!”
“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Undisclosed Test Group 1B Liquid”
“Poking Little Puppies”
