Actors, and Musicians, and Athletes, Oh My!

August 11, 2010

Did you know that many of your favorite celebrities have written children’s books? Even Herman Munster wrote a book.  Some are funny, some are musical, and most have a moral or lesson to share.  A few of them are actually good. After reading over 50 children’s books (all JE’s), all celebrities are not equal when it comes to writing.

My all time favorite book written by a celebrity is Marsupial Sue by John Lithgow. It even comes with a CD, so you can sing along with the book, preformed by John himself. Here are a few more of my favorites:
