A recent poll suggests that archaic fairy tales have worn out their welcome, requiring adjustments to make them more palatable in today's cultural climate. In other words, reclaim your pride, Seven Dwarves! Throw down that dishrag and join a roller derby team, Cinderella! THE TIME IS NOW!
Science Buzz A new children's book asks the questions all kids want to know. The book's plot summary reads, “Two yetis trek through the Arctic in an attempt to answer the burning question, 'Do Narwhals Have Blowholes?' Will they find the answer or will they be eaten by polar bears?” …Introducing my imaginary nephew for whom I need to buy this book.
Culture Buzz The beloved children’s writer and illustrator — of books like Where The Wild Things Are and Chicken Soup With Rice — recently turned 80, and is still as sad, angry, and misanthropic as ever. After undergoing triple-bypass surgery and losing his partner of 50 years, Sendak is a dark and depressing figure who has brilliantly managed to provide generations of adoring children with a legendary canon of fantasy subversively steeped in his own gloomy disposition.
Gallery of the Absurd gives Heidi and Spencer the children’s book treatment. The entry for “Fun At The Beach” really gets at the central truth of these two reality-show non-celebs: “Boobs, boobs, boobs. Bounce, bounce, bounce. Beach, beach, beach. Isn’t the beach fun?”
Culture Buzz A hard truth goes down easier when it comes from a children’s book full of anthropomorphic animals. “Things They Don’t Tell You” reveals the unspoken truth about ugly people, self-importance, and how tall people only date each other. Everyone’s bound to find one page in here to pin to someone else’s cubicle wall. For example, “Love is like a grocery store apple: look all you want, but you’ll never find one without a huge dent in it.”
Politics Buzz Meghan McCain is writing a children’s book about her daddy. Yay! Should be good times for kids, especially the Vietnam sections, like the part that reads, “He didn’t get the right kind of medical care for his broken bones, and the food was really bad.” It’ll be the first kid’s book about surviving torture since the Dr. Seuss classic, The Wubbler Gets Waterboarded.
Culture Buzz A book called Gallop! employs a new patented technology called scanimation which makes static print images look animated. It’s cool when they make cool educational things for kids that can also serve as trippy sh*t for adults.
