This article is so glowing it reads like a publicity release.

One good comment is this, by some little girl:

"Harper said she had never heard of Madonna until they received the books..."

I think this says that these were given away for free.

I guess so many went unsold (those Madonna fans didn't buy enough multiple copies :laugh: ) that they're stacked to the ceiling in some warehouse somewhere.

However, some organization or school district - which is called, are you ready for this? - Licking Valley, bought about 300 copies of it.

It could've been only more fitting if the group was named "Skanky Nymphomaniac."

When these girls turn 18, will they be given copies of the '90s Madonna book Sex? :ask:

A girl thing: Students given Madonna-authored, Oprah-approved books and matching bags
  • By MISTY MAYNARD Staff Writer
    Wednesday, March 8, 2006

    Every female student at Mason County Intermediate School received a special gift Wednesday in the form of a book written by international pop sensation Madonna.

    The book, The English Roses, was Madonna's first attempt to pen a story for younger children. The story describes four young friends who ostracize a fifth girl because she is too "perfect."

    They exclude her from their games until one night they all experience a dream which gives them a glimpse into the homelife of the girl, which is not as enviable as they had presumed.

    According to a posting on Oprah.com, which reviewed the children's book, the story is "an inspiring story about the importance of compassion and the rewards of friendship."

    "The context of the story is actually a moral story," said Paula Insko, the guidance counselor at the school who was passing the books out to the girls.

    Insko said when school officials first deliberated about handing the books out to students, the thought that some parents might object to the book, since it was written by Madonna.

    However, Insko said the group proofread the content, and determined it was not inappropriate. In fact, she said many parents who have said they dislike Madonna have told Insko they loved the book.

    About 300 books were provided by Licking Valley, which purchased them to distribute to schools throughout the district.

    Students from different classes filtered into the library at various times during the day to receive their books. Their eyes often opened wide at the sight of the boxes of books, and their smiles grew large as they realized those books were a gift for them.

    "I really like it," said fifth-grade student Madison Harper. "I think it really inspires you on how to make friends."

    Harper said she had never heard of Madonna until they received the books, encased in a charming, colorful bag that grabbed the girls interest as well.

    "This is a nice gift," said Mikalaya Chain, also a fifth-grade student. "They're cool."

    To each group of students, Insko made a presentation, letting them know each one of them is special, and they were going to receive a special gift.

    "This is your day, girls," she said. "I want you to remember this story always."
