Just FYI. PS– Just as a note, reading through the reviews of the book on Amazon, it appears the 10th Anniversary edition of this book does NOT include the part on artificial insemination. Just FYI.

I accept that no book will ever be perfect or appeal to all groups. The only book that will apply perfectly to each of our standards is one that we'd have to write ourselves. ; ) I figure the important part is the underlying message, and from there it's up to us parents to have further discussions sparked by the book.

It's awesome. Although, I still don't have a damned copy of it. It’s about a princess who saves her prince from the dragon and then tells him to piss off when he gets snooty about what she’s wearing.

My favorite page is the one where Mama Kate is wearing the "NO NUKES" shirt :) Like Kareena I can't wait to read more reviews so I can add more books to my wish list. So glad you are doing this! <3 I love the book and am so thankful to have had a chance to read it. My favorite page is the one where Mama Kate is wearing the “NO NUKES” shirt :)

I find it hilarious that this this book seems to be aimed at the preschooler crowd and yet the curriculum that would cause the same "invisible" differences (homosexuals, step parents, religions, etc) to be taught to grade 3 students caused so much outrage where I live that the government kowtowed to it. (FYI If you want to be accurate I believe that "Artificial Insemination" isn't done anymore, now they always do Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) which involves placing the semen directly into the uterus by threading a small tube through the cervix. My friend has a truly hilarious story of one nurse that wouldn't listen when they said she wasn't doing it right and ended up causing the device to backfire all over her.)

I had heard great reviews on this book before, but no other review touched on the topics outside the fact that, yes Heather's parents are both female. Thank you.
