Children's Books You'll Never See
Grimm's Fairy Tales aren't exactly shielding Junior from nightmares, but these book titles are without question in the "too much, too soon" category. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)
Recalled Children's Books
Someone with a wicked sense of humor "retouched" the covers of some classic kiddie books. The artwork remains the same for the most part, but the titles have been edited — for better or for worse? — I'll let you decide.

Meghan McCain Shares Her Dad with Other Kids
Meghan McCain has announced plans to publish a children's book about her dad, just in time for Father's Day. The book will be out in September.

Do, Dump, or Marry? Spike Jonze
Director, skateboarder and all-around Gen X superhero Spike Jonze was told that turning the beloved children's book Where the Wild Things Are into a movie couldn't be done without serious artistic compromises. Well, not only did he prove his naysayers wrong, his movie was number one at the box office over the weekend!
This iconoclast has been doing his own thing for a while, though, starting out as an untrained videographer for skateboarders, moving on to direct cool videos for bands like The Beastie Boys, and following up on Being John Malkovich and Adaptation with a filmic ballad for the latch-key generation.

DC Sniper's Ex-Wife Says Those Bullets Were Meant For Her
On October 23, 2002, Mildred Muhammad was visited at her Maryland home by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents. They'd come to inform her that her ex-husband, John, had begun shooting people around her. "You are the target," they told her ominously.
Aborigines Incensed Over Didgeridoo "Dare" in Book for Girls
The Australian answer to the hit book, The Daring Book for Girls is striking the wrong note with Aborigines. The book teaches girls how to play the didgeridoo — despite the fact that Aboriginal culture views the instrument as strictly boys only and not to be played by girls.
The publisher says it wasn't aware of the taboo and has apologized for the faux pas saying there was a "divergence of opinion" on the matter.
Guides Hope Public Will Have Big Love For Polygamy Tours
Has Big Love only intensified your curiosity about the mysterious lives of polygamists? Perhaps you should book your next vacation to Arizona, where former fundamentalist Mormons have launched a tour of a polygamous colony.
Starting next weekend, outsiders will get an inside look with "The Polygamy Experience: A Guided Tour of Colorado City."
Mighty Hermaphrodite Author on Being Intersex
Hida Viloria, author of the upcoming book Mighty Hermaphrodite, has an inkling of the pain Caster Semenya's going through. Like the South African runner who was tricked into having her sex verified (she's now in hiding and on suicide watch), Viloria is an intersex person.
Formerly known as hermaphrodites, intersex people, says Viloria, are hard to classify either as male or female.
