Since this seems to be the summer for tell-all type of books (Hillary, JFK, et al.), I though I should point out a fantastic expose I found. Framed by the media, an alleged killer tells his side of the story. Once you start reading, you won’t put it down until you finish.
Set in a small town, this book follows the path of a questionable protagonist in ill health who is seeking aid from his uncaring, selfish neighbors. He tells riveting tales of murder, gruesome victim disposal, and slipshod (perhaps even criminal) journalism by the liberal media. Crime scene illustrations, too.
Don’t miss this surefire bestseller from Puffin Books.
The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs. by A. Wolf
As told to Jon Scieszka
Illustrated by Lane Smith
Any kid’s book that refers to Pig No. 3 as “that rude little porker” is sure to become a classic. It’s currently The Senator’s favorite bedtime story.
Is this for real? I have been telling this story for months--and it is one of his favorites, but not with that ultra-conservative leaning. I'm appalled (if this is true and not one of your unfortunate jokes!)Woe is me!!!
