Horton Hears a Hooters!- Check out this new children's book about Plastic Surgery:
Newsweek writes:
My Beautiful Mommy is aimed at kids ages four to seven and features a plastic surgeon named Dr. Michael (a musclebound superhero type) and a girl whose mother gets a tummy tuck, a nose job and breast implants. Before her surgery the mom explains that she is getting a smaller tummy: 'You see, as I got older, my body stretched and I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore. Dr. Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better.' Mom comes home looking like a slightly bruised Barbie doll with demure bandages on her nose and around her waist"
Naturally, it has a happy ending: mommy winds up "even more" beautiful than before, and her daughter is thrilled.
