Dude.  That has to be a joke.

Just because it's a joke doesn't mean that they don't actually sell it. Also, note the BYU graduate on the education page.

Using plain and non-judgemental language.... With numerous...satircal swipes at the Bush administration.


Anyone else notice the disparity here?

That's pretty funny.

I hate when someone uses a children's book not to tell a story but to shove a message down a kid's throat. I guess message books have their place, but I can't imagine a child enjoying this book.

And the person who appears to be a BYU graduate in the illustrations--that's weird. I think those are some of the lamest illustrations ever. Cutesy animals does not a good children's book make.

Well to be fair, if anyone (Democrat or republican) found teddy Kennedy under their bed they'd be running away screaming.

Yeah, those are some pretty ugly people (or at least, ugly characatures) under that bed.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a Yale graduate.  Unless BYU went up from 5k a year to 160k a year in tuition.
