Madonna's childrens book, The English Roses, will be released in 100 countries in 42 different languages. The book is described as "a story... about friendship, jealousy, sleepover parties, and fairy godmothers." (Truth or Dare without the fairy godmothers?) Madonna has criticized existing children's books as being "vapid and vacant" books that "offered no lessons in life for younger readers." No word on what the title of the next book is, but I'm guessing it's "My First Lesson in Moral Relativity."
