This book by James Finn Garner twists fairy tales to drop dead laughers. The new stories are now free of all cruel and sexist remarks and makes it all seem so natural it's funny. I highly recomend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars this book is not for children, June 24, 2003

This review is from: Politically Correct Bedtime Stories: Modern Tales for Our Life and Times (Hardcover)

this book is for adults, it has adult humor. The reason you found it too graphic to read to your kids is because it is not for them.

This review is from: Politically Correct Bedtime Stories: Modern Tales for Our Life and Times (Hardcover)

I found this book to be a little to graffic to read to my children. My kids are coming to the age where they are ready for fairy tales, but I don't think that I want them to learn about such topics before they are drinking out of cups without lids on them. If James Finn Garner intended this book for children rather than a mens bathroom at a truck stop, then he intends to raise his children in a different manner than my wife and I. Some day my children will be ready to learn about sexuality and the humor behind it, but I think when that day comes they will be reading beyond the three little pigs and little red riding hood.
