Adding to the long list of celebrities writing for Children, Australian pop star Kylie Minogue launched her first children's book. The first in a series of children's books by U.S. pop star Madonna, "The English Roses", was described by the San Francisco Chronicle in 2003 as "cynical" and "unimaginative", but it went on to become the fastest selling picture book of all time!!!

Minogue's book is about how Kylie becomes a showgirl with the help of a dedicated group of friends, and was written while the singer recovered from breast cancer treatment. It features artwork inspired by drawings sent by fans during convalescence.

The book, published by Penguin arm Puffin, went on sale on September 21 in Australia and Britain, and was officially launched by the 38-year-old at a book signing in London at the weekend.

Come on people... Madonna and Kylie are great, but should people like this be setting the example for kids? What do they know about it??? But on the other hand, what’s stopping them, isn’t it a good idea that they try to reach out to kids?
