I am a reviewer for Mind & Media. It’s a great program. They send me new books… for FREE… and I review them.

The latest book I received was Help! Mom! Hollywood’s in My Hamper!.

At first glance, one would think this is a children’s book. And frankly, it could well serve those with children. It’s the tale of two children who, despite receiving guidance and values from their parents, are easily duped into wasting all their money on Hollywood-endorsed garbage. The graphics are a bit juvenile, but the caricatures are unmistakable.

Eventually the children come to realize that the original parental guidance is more than just lip service and the message peddled by the self-absorbed useful idiots from Hollywood is nothing more than lip service… with a bit of collagen added.

The story doesn’t quite finish in a nice, tidy “lessons learned” like I was hoping, but in the end the children come to realize the “experts” in Hollywood aren’t all they’re cracked up to be and instead the children are the real “experts” of their own lives.

If only it were so easy to teach the children.

1. A suitable second effort regarding taxes could be, “Help! Mom! The Democrats are in My Knickers!”
