Here is another MHLee provided link (in his recent hot summer, ice cream episode) of some relevance.

The Kidoodlers are not the primary focus of the book, and according to the one book review the book may not be recommended, but it could be a good resource to gain some perspective on "corn" groups like the Kidoodlers.
