Via Hit and Run, I didn’t want to believe this was a real book. Unfortunately I can’t find any evidence that it is a Republican hoax:

Why Mommy is a Democrat brings to life the core values of the Democratic party in ways that young children will easily understand and thoroughly enjoy. Using plain and non-judgmental language, along with warm and whimsical illustrations, this colorful 28-page paperback depicts the Democratic principles of fairness, tolerance, peace, and concern for the well-being of others. It’s a great way for parents to gently communicate their commitment to these principles and explain their support for the party.

How does a book that compares Democrats to mommies avoiding adding to the perception that Democrats are weaker on national security?

In the picture, the mom is protecting her kids from an elephant that’s charging a sketchy-looking guy in a trench coat. Is the message that while the Republicans protect us from bad guys, the Democrats will protect us from Republicans?

Can we put this guy in charge of communications for the DNC?
