Anyone here have the book the Rainbow Goblins?
I was just reading a review of it and this lady riped this children's book a new a-hole, see here:

PARENTS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although the story is a bit formulaic, the pictures are beautifully done...
that is until you realize what two of the goblins are doing to each other as the story progresses. This Ul De Rico has no business in children's literature. I think you will agree if you check out this book and what the yellow and red goblins are engaged in in some of the illustrations.
As a parent and illustrator, all I can say is SHAMEFUL!

So I go to the book store and find the book thinking this lady is full of crap. I start looking at the pictures and those two Goblins seem to always have their hands on one another and in once scene they are holding hands while sleeping. Then low and behold their is an illustration where they are tangled up in a rope and if you look carefully, it sure looks like the orange goblin is...... well I will let you look at the book. She has it wrong though, it's the orange and the red goblin, not the yellow one.

While I don't think this is shameful, I have little doubt now that she did catch something than most people did not. It's clear Ul De Rico had a sense of humor when he put the book together.
