    Our mate Libby over on children&#8217;s lit blog Treasury Islands finds a
    book aimed at four to eight year olds. <a
    href=\"http:\/\/treasuryislands.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/16\/dieting-its-not-just-for-grown-ups\/\">It&#8217;s
    called &#8220;Maggie Goes On A Diet&#8221;.<\/a> What really made us furrow
    the collective brow, though, was the cover illustration, which clearly
    anchors &#8216;making sure your appearance conforms&#8217; and
    &#8216;looking good in a pink dress&#8217; as the main motivators lil&#8217;
    Maggie should have for said diet. Come on.

      with

        <em
          >MAGGIE&#8217;S FIRST FLYING LESSON<\/em>, anyway? Diet, schmiet. When
          our ed was eight her main priority was &#8220;how to meet
          SuperTed&#8221;. Not &#8220;scrutinising the calorie count in the
          Angel Delight in case SuperTed has a frankly unsolicited opinion on
          that shit&#8221;.<\/li>\n

              performance tradition when song-writer and artist went from home
              to home, showing pictures ad singing out their stories<\/a>.
              Traditional stories and local news were part of their repertoire.
              Now contemporary artists also look to events reported in the mass
              media, especially drawn to news that is dramatic and emotionally
              charged. <\/em> Very excited for the book to arrive in
