In this eye-opening book, the first to investigate the explosion of the multibillion-dollar preschool entertainment business and its effects on families, Dade Hayes - an entertainment expert, author, and concerned father - lifts the veil on the closely guarded process of marketing to the ultra-young and their parents.
