By Katharine DeBrecht

Book Overview

Johnny and Luke are cousins who live in the very same neighborhood and go to the very same school. What they enjoy most is Miss Hennessy's second grade class, especially around Christmas. Every year, she would decorate her classroom with the most beautiful Christmas decorations, serve the most scrumptious Christmas cookies, and hold the best Christmas program ever...until this year, when suddenly, the Ninth Circuit nabs the nativity Can Johnny and Luke retrieve their beloved Christmas display before stern Hillary Clinton look-alike, Congresswoman Clunkton, aided by Al Bore and an hilarious assemblage of other politician and celebrity look-alikes, auction it off to raise funds for her upcoming political campaign? Will Hillary end up in jail? Can Christmas be saved? This third book in the Help Mom series reunites gifted storyteller Katharine DeBrecht with award-winning illustrator Jim Hummel for another small lesson in conservatism.

cute

I'm a pre-school teacher and I love these books. Gave it to my mom as a gift and we had a pretty good laught:) lol

A very funny . . .

. . . third entry into the popular "Help! Mom!" series takes a look at the "War on Christmas". Funnier than the second entry, this "Help! Mom!" book recounts the tale of how the "Liberaland 9th Circuit Court" attacks Christmas (and, for that matter, Judaism as well) without due regard for that precious piece of paper, the United States Constitution. Unlike the previous two "Help! Mom!" books which take satire into the realm of parody, many elements of "The 9th Circuit Court" recount actions and episodes which have actually occurred in schools and courts throughout this country. The fundamental underlying principle which the Secular Progressives seem to miss is that the Constitution provides for "Freedom OF Religion" NOT "Freedom FROM Religion". That distinction is made very clear in this book. As an aside, the tone of many of the reviews for both this book and its two predecessors (to say nothing of the tenor of many of the follow-up comments) makes me want to suggest a follow-up title, to wit: "Help! Mom! The Secular Progressives Have No Sense Of Humor!" Very highly recommended!

A Drop in the Bucket

This book provides one tiny opportunity to try and balance the overwhelming blitz of liberal media distortions and control of the developing minds of little kids. I'm writing this one day after the Sunday Funnies in the Washington Post published 2 blatantly anti-religion strips, 1 hostile pro-immigration strip, and an anti-heartland (red State) strip in addition to the usual assortment of anti-Bush strips (Doonesbury, Boondocks, etc). Kids need to read books like this and its 2 predecessors in order to learn how biased the media and education system has become.

Another excellent book about the intolerant left

Is funny how the left try their best to discredit this book. Every time I see their hateful comments, is a sign to me that I must buy it for me and my friends. After reading it, I couldn't be happier about the author genius to explain how the left wants to eradicate everything about the Christian religion

Funny, with brilliant illustrations

I thought "Liberals Under My Bed" was a riot, and I enjoyed "9th Circuit" too. The fact that liberals (some of them posting here) are up in arms about this book shows how on-target it is. The book makes fun of Hillary Clinton, Jon Carry and Al Gore in ways that show exactly how superficial and self-serving their "beliefs" are. Anyone who likes to laugh at politicians - and who can laugh at themselves - will enjoy this book. There's a funny video on YouTube called "The First Toenail" that's from this book that is highly recommended too.
