Missing the point of children's literature

A dear friend of mine "treated" my kids to a video and a book--both recommended for children and commended by some critics--and after a quick look at both, my thought was that the artists had obviously enjoyed their "life drawing" classes, but had failed to clue in to the fact that the purpose of this class is to be able to realistically portray the human body whether clothed or not, not to portray the clothed human body as if it were not.

Especially, ahem, in work done for children's books and such. Parents, be careful about what's provided to your children--the line between G and R is increasingly being erased by those who would like little more than to see Venus in all areas of our lives.

Or maybe it's not so new after all. The churches of only two cities get two letters from Paul in the Scriptures, and one of them was home to one of the greatest temples to Aphrodite. To paraphrase one of our Founding Fathers, the price of good parenting seems to be perpetual vigilance.
