Millicent is happy to see Barbie, but Millicent is sad too. I'll wager she wears pink at the office.Barbie is on a plane. Looks like Barbie just took on another career: literary vigilance instigator. Next year, I’ll still give my daughter ten bucks for the book fair, but she and I will sit down with the Scholastic catalog and discuss appropriate choices. Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale was a glittering reminder that school walls don’t keep out the world’s unhealthy temptations. I thought I could send my daughter to school with ten bucks and feel confident she would bring home something by E.B.

The words “Scholastic Book Fair” and the school’s wholehearted promotion of the event made me drop my guard. There is nothing – nothing! – in this awful Barbie book that merits a spot in a school book sale.Īnd I also blame myself. Books tied to alluring corporate characters no doubt sell briskly, but a book fair for young children should not lower its standards so it can collect more cash, even when a public school shares the profits. My wife and I shield our daughter from mindless fluff, so it was perhaps inevitable that this sparkling piece of forbidden pink bubblegum would prove tempting.īut I can blame the Scholastic Book Fair for including Fashion Fairytale among its otherwise worthwhile offerings. And I can’t (or won’t) blame a 4-year-old for her sketchy taste in literature. Some Manhattan women attain those standards every day. I can’t sniff in disgust that Barbie’s hair, makeup, and body represent unattainable standards. She’s a busy single woman juggling several careers (neurosurgeon one day, rock star the next), and anyway those slutty Bratz dolls are far worse. Mayhem ensues, but all is saved by the time Barbie walks the runway and wows the crowd.

Three tiny, anorexic “Flairies” known as Glimmer, Shimmer and Shyne magically appear to help tart up Millicent’s fashions, but they are kidnapped and forced to work for the thieving competition. In this vapid book (which the cover proudly proclaims is “Based On The Movie!”), Barbie’s Aunt Millicent is being forced to close her Paris fashion house because evil competitors have stolen her designs. So why did it leave me fuming? Because my kindergartner purchased, from among the hundreds of discounted books available at the fair, a piece of drivel titled ( 1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1290201618&sr=1-1). The Scholastic Book Fair held this month at my daughter’s elementary created a fun bookstore environment that promoted reading and learning - all while raising thousands of dollars for the school.
