Am I Overreacting?? Children's Books With an Agenda

I recently bought The Itty Bitty Kitty-Corn for my daughter.

As we started reading it, I was hoping that the underlying message I was picking up on was all in my head...

Unfortunately, my Mommy-Spidey-Senses were spot on.

It's a story about a Kitty who truly believes she's a Unicorn. She does everything she can to show her "true self", but her friends still won't call her a Unicorn. It's when she meets a Unicorn that sees himself as a Kitty-Corn, and he affirms her as a Kitty-Corn too, that she's finally truly happy.

*sigh*

Just to confirm my impressions of where I felt this message was coming from, I looked up the authors - Lueyen Pham and Shannon Hale - and let's just say... they're exactly on the side of the issues that I predicted they'd be.
