Rather than discuss the election that just took place (I had strong feelings for many candidates and amendments which did not go as hoped), I figured I would do a post on a somewhat similar topic: political books. But not just any political books, specifically Children's Books.
Why Mommy is a Democrat is a book written in 2006 which got a lot of press, especially in Talk Radio. Cute squirrels demonstrate why Mommy Squirrel is a Democrat... things like sharing toys, the importance of education, and making safety #1. In 2007, a second book, Why Daddy is a Democrat was published, outlining why a Daddy Bear teaches his cubs Democratic values.
However, in between these two, a response was written for the more Conservative crowd. Why Daddy is a Republican uses a family of Eagles to illustrate terrorism, taxes, and abortion, among other issues.
While all the cartoons are cute, and some of the statements in all three books make sense, it's amusing nonetheless that these (and so many other) political books have been aimed at the youngest of crowds. Hmmm...
