Born in 1958,( he received a BA in Russian from San Francisco State University and an( MBA that he calls "less useful than the degree in Russian" before embarking( on a career in marketing. He turned to writing when his first child was born( because he "wanted to be an active, involved father." Since that time he has( contributed to the New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post, Reader's( Digest, Family Circle, the Saturday Evening Post, Playboy, and other maga( zines. He treats issues that affect men: education, health, and especially( fatherhood. His books include The Expectant Father (1995, with Jennifer( Ash), The New Father (1997), A Dad's Guide to the Toddler Years (1998), The( Single Father (1999), and Throwaivay Dads (1999). Brott also hosts a weekly( radio show in San Francisco, Positive Parenting.j@@GLK3#1jAXGXFXFXFXAYAXSW@'Y'@9X9FIXIE\X[FlXkE}W}CYCXIXIYIX@Y@WIWIXIW?WIXJXIWJ+X+I2Y2IHWGJRXTD[X[GeXfIsYtJYAYAXCXKYDYKYJ_DYDXKZBYB Y KZK/Z/B5Z5BFZEKPZOJ^Z^KpZoK}Y~DZKZKYJYUYAYAYKYJYJYC Y CXJ"X"A-Y-A6X:@IXJ@XXZ@iXkRq[kRq[c{m|m|m{l{m|l{f|m{l${#c4|4c@|@lO{OdY|Ydm|mc{c|e{l{c|c{m{l{lzf{l { l{c(|(c3{1l;{:lJ|Kmc{cdn|nd|l|m|d|d|n|n|m|n}g|m} n|m'}'e2}2eD}ElO|Om]}]lh}gnu}ue}e}m|g}n{m{n|m|f{j{m  l|l${%m6{7bEzEbR|Rl_{`lqz`lqz !!));<HHQQ_`lnuw%%//ABOO``iirs./=>HISU[]jj{} --88IIPQbbqbq **44:;LLUUno||$%34>?OP]^llww&&34EENN^`ghrr{{!"++44CDST`_p_p%%..9:OP]^oqz{,-78@@OP]_ddoouv (*448:FFOO_ahhzz /0<<EEWXeeoeo           !

While acknowl( edging that women and men are not yet equal in child care, Brott holds that( children's books are hardly helping.

In recent( years groups of concerned parents have persuaded textbook publishers to por( tray more accurately the roles that women and minorities play in shaping our( country's history and culture. Little Block Sambo has all but disappeared from( library and bookstore shelves; feminist fairy tales by such authors as Jack Zipes( have, in many homes, replaced the more traditional (and obviously sexist)( fairy tales. Richard Scarry, one of the most popular children's writers, has re( issued new versions of some of his classics; now female animals are pictured( doing the same jobs as male animals. Even the terminology has changed:( Males and females are referred to as mail "carriers" or "firefighters."H IMORJGHH))9:JI]^jjtt %%77HIZZklww  ,,75>>QQ`ajjtt  **>>HHXXeenq\op !$..;;MNWWabqr}/0>@KKYZpZpp"#//;:HJUU``op ""+.@@KKWXeguv]k/lz(|)(((/(('/((!(" /(/ 5(5C(DU(Vi(jx(y'((' ( (.''("(#-'-9(9 B(B V(Vd'ev'w((/(('(' ( (  ' &(&0(1?'AQ(R]'] p'o(' ( (.( ' ('' (#'%0(1;(;E(EP'Pa'aj(j{.|('""^?hQiAtQuARBXAQBQ@RBQBQAQBRB QBRB-Q.A:Q:BIRJ?UQUAdQe7oQnB~X~?R?R7QAQAQBRAR7QBRAR?

The evolution of children's( literature didn't end with Goodnight Moon and Charlotte's Web. My local pub( lic library, for example, previews 203 new children's picture books (for the( under-five set) each month.. Many of these books make a very conscious effort( to take women characters out of the kitchen and the nursery and give them( professional jobs and responsibilities.J#&NJ(  01ABYZhi{|  **34BDNN^^llvv  ((11BCTT`aklwx)*89CCNNXZiiss~^fgwy(*45CDOP^`qr|}%%34>>GGVV__vx $$<<OP^^ggvw  ++?AHIRRcepp~]fgpp|{)+00<<DDTTggyy'&/.<;MMVV]]}/.:;BAQR\\r\ruyy!!22ABRQZZbbtu]ghpp %###//>?PQ ``|{%##%,,88EEUVggww##12EGLKWWccu&v   ''55?#AMK\\ii uu ]9oIn8I-I8I8H=B.I.I8G8I8H8H8I7H-'M'-2I28BIB8RHQ8aH`-uHu-}H}8H7H8H5H,HEHDH-H-H8H7)H(87P78AIA8RIR-_H_-eHe5pHo-H7H8I8H-H-I8H7I-I7 H 7H7/H/7?H=-PHP7_H_7hHh8xHx7H7H7H8H8P7H7H8G8H8H8H0 H 82H29CHC7NHN7XHX8fHg-sGr-~H{8H8H5I5I\_hrgbyry_r_rbrWrbsbrbqbrbrbra3r3a=r=bMqLWarabprqa}q|brbr_rbrbrararbrbr`r`ra$r$X1r1X9r9_DqCXWrWbgrgWqrqWr[r`rbrWrcrbrbrbrbr WrW*r*`5q4XIrIaXrXabrbbwrwcrbrbrbqbrbybrcrbrX s Xsb$y%\.r-c@r?bOrO`ZrZ`erdWyrybrbrbr[mnzy  ((::FFOO_^rq%&//;;DDST_aeaeJ^Q]M]&M],PHN\WyrJ[e'[^x    uFR5S
