Celebrity Children's books

This is a great banner that I swiped from my instructor. I personally have never bought a book written by a celebrity for my daycare and never will. Why you might be asking. The publisher just wants the celebrity's name.

Most are written by ghost writers. Dictionary definition of a ghostwriter is a professional writer who is paid to write books, articles, stories, or reports which are officially credited to another person. The other is that they actually do write the books themselves, but two things usually happens.
1.) The editor and/ or publisher request changes to the manuscript and the celbrity refuses.
2.) The editor and/ or publisher is too imtimidated to request changes and publishes it anyway.

Kids deserve to have well written books. Make sure you read the synopsis so you know if it fists your kid's interest or not. The only celebrity books that I would recommend are the ones written by Jamie Lee Curtis. They are imaginative and relate to topics that kids are interested in.
