Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!

By Katharine DeBrecht

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Just poking a little fun.

Personally, I only scanned a few pages. It just looks like someone having a little fun. The target audience may not be children at all, as you see, the images are better designed to stir up the cover readers. The basic story is that of children learning the value of entrepreneurship. They run into a few unplanned snags. This is a good argument for project management. This brings to mind the conversation between Dr. Phillip Barbay (Paxton Whitehead) and Thornton Melon (Rodney Dangerfield) in the movie “Back to School” (1986). Thornton takes building a business from theory to practice.

Funny, honest, insightful. No wonder liberals hate it.

A very funny, strangely gentle, book. The moral of this story is simple. Working hard, and having good ideas is no guarantee of success if you don't have liberty. And the people who complain the most about discrimination are generally the ones who discriminate the most. All kids should read this.

I will be buying this book!

Having read all of the reviews even those of the liberals, I will be buying this book. This book is not about hatred it is about the liberals who want the government (oops that should be "OUR" government)to no longer be a republic but a socialistic society. Further more those of you who wrote bad reviews, who are you to be telling me how I should raise my children and what I should be teaching them. Obviously I am a conservative ("righty") and I will teach my kids according to my belief in God (yes I did invoke God) and what I believe the government is there for (man! I did it again I meant "OUR" government.) If I may also suggest the book "The Conscience of a Conservative" by Barry Goldwater, it is very good reading. It is not a kids book but one you would definitely want to pass on to them some day.

Actually reading the book helps: a humorous look at politics

I am disappointed that so many people have decided they need to write hateful, disparaging remarks under the guise of a "review". It is obvious that none of them even bothered (or wanted) to read the book. I have read it, and it is a humorous look at politics. Topics such as taxation are presented using humor and spur both children and adults to think about the proper role and rate for taxes. This is a great way to introduce children to the concept of "government" and the silly games adults play with it. Hint for haters: if you don't like it then write your own book about conservatives under the bed!
