Jamie Lee Curtis started her acting career screaming in horror films. This daughter of Janet Leigh, who screamed in the movie Psycho, and Tony Curtis, has written a string of delightful books for kids. A favorite is My Mommy Hung The Moon. A number of other famous actors became celebrity childrens book authors.
Freckleface Strawberry was written by another actor who worked in the horror genre, Julianne Moore. Gold Medal Olympic Champion Kristi Yamaguchi skated into the writing world with Dream Big, Little Pig. Steve Martins rhyming story had everyone rolling in the aisles.
Katie Couric, news announcer and television host, wrote about soccer games and named the characters after her daughters. Julie Andrews seems to be the appropriate actress to write about fairy princesses. When Jim Carreys story of How Roland Rolls came out, it immediately had children and parents alike rolling on the floor in laughter.
A wide array of Christmas books are available for kids, both religious and secular. But how about that other holiday, Halloween. Jerry Seinfeld covers that one in a book of the same name. Little goblins and bags of candy abound. Various topics are aptly covered by singers Sting, Gloria Estefan and Jewel.
Many of these famous authors have their roots in comedy. Consider the laughs provided by Ricky Gervais and Jay Leno. Joy Behar is a stand-up comic who was host on The View. She wrote Sheetzucacapoopoo My Kind Of Dog, a real tongue twister.
From the mouths of babes come ideas and content as parents write what they know their own kiddies like. A parent often lives a life filled with comedy along with stress. Dogs and cats are in second place as material-gathering sources.
The ever-popular Dr. Seuss books lead the pack of favorites that rhyme. Following in his footsteps is Steve Martin. Little children want to hear these read over and over again.
Words are not, however, the only thing that draws children to these special books. Wonderful, colorful illustrations draw their eyes to each page as you read. They look at the pictures on their own too.
Whoopie Goldberg, Jeff Foxworthy and other comedians, big television and movie stars, have fertile minds for childrens books. It is easy to understand their creativity. It is not as easy to understand when they find time to write books.
Everyone loves comedian Dr. Bill Cosby. He seems a natural to write books for children with his doctorate in education. When Jimmy Carter was President of our country, his daughter Amy grew up in the White House. She too, has written a book for kids.
Also spending years making her home in the White House was Jenna Bush, daughter of then president, George W. Bush. From the United Kingdom, we have the title Tea For Ruby, a book written by the Duchess of York. Queen Latifa, royalty in the comedic world, wrote another.
President Barack Obama penned a most touching book named, Of Thee I Sing. In it he pays tribute to thirteen of the most notable individuals in history for daughters Maliya and Sasha. It is said to bring readers to tears. We can only imagine how he found the time.
