A Good Rap

Jen Young sent over The Entertainment Weekly Story that says textbook publisher Scholastic announced plans for a new series of rapper-penned books for 4- to 10-year-olds, the New York Times reports. Called \’\’Hip Kid Hop,\’\’ the series\’ kicks off with two titles, by LL Cool J and Doug E. Fresh. Of course, the books come with CDs so kids can rhyme along with the authors and their backing tracks.
