Fairy Tale

You know how they are always finding frames of pure filth in Disney films? Well, a friend recently sent me this book to read to my child. It's called Tops & Bottoms by Janet Stevens. OK, it's probably just me, but look at the cover: The bear has its ass in the air, obviously an insatiable bottom, while the hare, a frisky top, looks on while wielding a corn cob with lewd intent. The flap explains that the story "has roots in European folk tales and slave stories of the American South" and "celebrates the trickster tradition of beating hardship by using one's wits." Stevens is also the author of Plaidypus Lost. Like they always say, don't judge a book by its cover.
