What's New in Children's Literature
We went to Philadelphia this weekend, and I saw this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer. The following are real children's book titles, apparently sold in earnest:
My Beautiful Mommy, out since spring, prepares preschoolers for Mother's nip-and-tuck.
What Is Jail, Mommy? unlocks the mysteries of the Big House, comparing prison to "big-people's time-out."
Why Daddy Is a Democrat (a sequel to Why Mommy Is a Democrat) lays out the values of the political left in simple sentences.
Too Much, new this year, takes on the super-sized topic of childhood obesity.
Mom and Mum are Getting Married untangles gay marriage.
Polar Bear, Why Is Your World Melting? is a primer on global warming.
I definitely need to tap into this market.
