Here at Kirkus Reviews, we take books seriously (how else could we have been around since the 1930’s?) But we also know the power of a good laugh when it might help to lighten things up a little. So while opinions are flying and pundits are sounding off, we thought we’d have a little fun. In our new contest we’re asking you to suggest a title for the sequel to Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. It can reflect your indignation, your support, your indifference, or your amusement. The main thing is to be creative!
