This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Would you let your child read blatantly liberal stories with titles such as "King & King;" "No, George, No;" or "It's Just a Plant?"

Unless you live in Haight-Ashbury or write for the New York Times, probably not. But with the nation's libraries and classrooms filled with overtly liberal children's books advocating everything from gay marriage to marijuana use, kids everywhere are being deluged with left-wing propaganda.

"Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed" is the book conservative parents have been seeking. This illustrated book -- the first in the "Help! Mom!" series from Kids Ahead -- is perfect for parents who seek to share their traditional values with their children, as well as adults who wish to give a humorous gift to a friend.

Praised by Rush Limbaugh and hailed as "the answer to a baseball mom's prayers" by talk radio host Melanie Morgan, this book has already been the subject of coverage in The Wall Street Journal and Harper's magazine. Written by a self-proclaimed "Security Mom for Bush" and featuring hilarious full-color illustrations by a Reuben Award winning artist, it is certain to be one of the most talked about children's books of the year.

About the Author

Katharine DeBrecht is a mother of three. A freelance newspaper reporter, she served as South Carolina's co-captain of Security Moms for Bush.

This is such a great book! I read this book to my family and it was a hit!

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

All of the things we talk about at the dinner table of being so important to us like: small government, freedom of religion, working hard, respecting others, being self-reliant, the burden of high taxes, giving to charity, and being skeptical that government can do anything better than the private sector are presented in this book.

Yes, it has some satire but overall it hits right on the Liberal mindset that big government is a good thing.

America is the greatest country in the world and was built with hard work and a fight for liberty. This book shows what is wrong with the mindset of many liberals and you can just feel the ‘inclusiveness’ and ‘tolerance’ in their comments and fake reviews of this book.

This book is a must read for any conservative family who wishes to share their ideals with their growing kids and family. You see, the public educators are sharing only one side of these issues and so as a parent, it is very important to allow your kids to hear a different perspective — and be able to defend those beliefs if needed. This book really helps to combat the liberal philosophy and show that there is a better way, and that way is what this great country was founded upon.

Loved Reading it to My Daughters

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2005

Verified Purchase

Just got the book on the 21st of October, after what I learned was a delay because the book had sold out the earlier printing! What an entertaining little tome, not just for me (Funny pictures! as funny as the one-star, knee jerk reviews below.), but for two little ladies in my life.

My 10- and 7-year-old daughters, veteran lemonade purveyers themselves, hung on every word of this parable about the two good boys' responses to the do-gooders' onslaught. During and after the first read, unprompted by me, my little ladies judged the Liberaland politicians' behavior was REALLY WEIRD:

* replaced the "offensive" Jesus portrait with the uninspiring (big toe!) generic symbol.

* Saying "taxes help the needy" but then spending the funds on useless givaways (dustpans!) that benefit only the liberal's political crony (a dustpan factory owner!). Meanwhile bona-fide charities, whose benefactors are squeezed more than ever before, struggle to continue their good work.

* Nanny-state rulemaking ruins quality ("take the sugar out of the lemonade!"), confuses the market ("eat brocolli with lemonade!"), and spoils business. Firms go under, big government steps in and botches the work ("$5.00 lemonade and brocolli!"), and wastes even more tax money propping up the unwanted agency.

* A group of strangers know what's better for kids than their own moms and dads. ("EEWWWWW!" but I must admit their reaction to this idea made me feel good!)

I look forward to Ms DeBrecht's next adventure stories of two good boys' struggle against Liberaland insanity.

Heavy-handed sign of the times, but it could be helpful.

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2005

Verified Purchase

I bought this book out of curiosity and because of all the very polarized reviews I read here on Amazon.com.

I was dissapointed at the heavy-handed approach to story telling. There's nothing too subtle or clever here. I didn't laugh at anyting in the book, just at the concept of the book itself: the story of two good hearted innocent all-American God fearing kids who get victimized by four different types of liberals, but it's all a dream sequence so there's a happy ending.

So, assuming you actually show this to your children, where do you go from there? Do you reinforce the stereotypes presented in this book and teach children to hate "those" kinds of people, or do you explain to your children that these are simple representations of certain mindsets that really do exist in the real world? A parent could go either way.

Oh yeah, since I live in a city teeming with liberals, and where any pro-Bush stickers on your car or signs on your house can subject you to vandalism very quickly, hearing the libs complain about "intolerance" just makes me laugh. Liberal ideologues are some of the most intolerant people around. Their use of the word "intolerance" is downright Orwellian. This book is a somewhat crude way to teach children about what is really happening, but it doesn't teach "intolerance" of anything except social engineers trying to run your life.

This book is just one more sign of the times we live in. How good or evil it is depends on how it's used. I'm sort of glad it's out there, but I wish it had been a bit more subtle and fun, and not so hamfisted in it's story telling.

Apoplectic Liberals Persuaded Me To Buy

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

After reading the snark and hysteria from Liberals in these reviews I decided to buy this book. I found that it captured the destructiveness of Liberal policies perfectly, especially the assault of Liberals on the hope and innocence of childhood. The undeniable fact is that the childhood lemonade stand, that taught generations of American children the principles of self sufficiency, responsibility, and the rewards of honest work (all elements of success that are anathema to Liberals), has been exterminated by hateful Liberal policies. My only criticism is in the portrayal of the lemonade stand after it had been nationalized. As disgusting as the Liberal transformation of it had been, the actuality would be far worse. There were no rats and roaches in evidence. As horrible as it was, they were still selling lemonade. Since Liberal policies always deliver the opposite of that proposed, they should have been forcing people to eat salt. Anyway, that's nitpicking. Nobody can ever anticipate the insanity that results from any particular Liberal policy. I am definitely buying more copies for all the grandkids!
