[LM_NET] Tar: Elem "propaganda or bias"

[Katherine Stehman <katherine_stehman@L-SPIONEERS.ORG>]

Good Morning,
A teacher and I are trying to come up with a picture book in which one or more of 
the characters demonstrates the use of  or is a victim of propaganda or bias.  This 
is a standard within the teacher's reading curriculum, and our state standards 
require recognizing an author's bias.  An example given in the reading series used 
by the teacher is the advertising used in pioneer days to convince settlers to go 
west.  So, do any of you have any ideas of books that would help demonstrate the 
concepts of either bias or propaganda?

One example:
Scieszka, Jon.  The true story of the 3 little pigs.

TIA,
Kate
