A book written by an Australian anti-vaccer to explain how measles is a wonderful, fun disease that will make you stronger in the long run, and kids shouldn't be afraid to get it.

http://www.amazon.com/Melanies-Marvelous-Measles-Stephanie-Messenger/dp/1466938897/ref=la_B00J3HD4K4_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1423503973&sr=1-1

I thought it was satire, but apparently it's real.

The reviews, however, are classic.

"My infant daughter went blind after contracting measles from an unvaccinated child, and yet there's no braille version of this wonderful book for me to give her someday to explain to her how awesome the disease that took her sight away is."

"As a carpenter who specializes in itty bitty coffins I can't say enough good things about this book, my customer base has been growing at an epidemic rate!"

"Was searching for Tommy's Terrific Tuberculosis or Epidemiology for Toddlers, but keep being redirected to this book."

I've had the measles, when I was much younger. And the chicken pox and the mumps, and none of them are much fun. Even if they kept me home from school.

I can also imagine you won't find this book sold at Disneyland, where they went through their own measles scare.

I had measles as a child: that's why my sight is not that good.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
