Celebrities shouldn't write children's books just because they can!
I didn't realize that there were so many children's books written by "celebrities." I am not the only one who thinks that this is not a very good way to choose what to read to your child, but I get the appeal.
"Celebrity-written children's books are the worst kind of disconnect between a parent -- who is attached to a book written by a celebrity they like -- and a child, for whom that celebrity is totally meaningless," contends Anita Silvey, a noted children's book expert and author of "The 100 Best Books for Children."
I also stumbled upon a blog of fictitious children's books. Here are links to my two favorites...
The Beastie Boys and a retelling of the Good Dog, Carl.
