The Daily Grin

Lately, it seems like ANYONE can write a children’s book, as long as they’re famous. Not surprisingly, most children’s books penned by celebrities are not the highest-quality literature - but many are fun, some are informational, and a select few are pretty darned good. Here are a few from our collection that fit into at least one of those categories:

Kickoff! by Tiki Barber
