Publisher aims to teach kids right from left


A Torrance publishing exec says he sees too many children’s books with liberal views. His titles aim to tilt the shelves the other way.

Publishing executive Eric Jackson's first foray into children's books was a cartoon tale of two brothers and a lemonade stand.



Hoping to earn money for a swing set, young Tommy and Lou squeeze lemons until their little hands ached. But they are thwarted by broccoli-pushing, camera-hogging, Jesus-hating liberals who pile on taxes and regulations and drive the boys out of business.



The book, "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!" came out two years ago. Jackson said it sold nearly 30,000 copies, which in the publishing world made it a bona fide hit. That success reinforced Jackson's view that the nation's bookshelves had tilted way too far left and that a correction was in order.
