If you had a child, would you want to snuggle up at night and read her a story written by ... Dennis Rodman? That's what we thought. Nevertheless, the 51-year-old retired NBA bad boy, who has three children and recently divorced the mother of his younger two kids, has written a children's book called "Dennis the Wild Bull," The New York Daily News reports.

The book will be released in September and, according to the book’s blog, it is being dedicated to Rodman’s children, with "the sole purpose of conveying good lessons to children based on Dennis’s own experiences as a world class athlete while overcoming obstacles as a child."

Darren Prince, Rodman’s agent, told Page Views: “It’s just really about the character, more about being comfortable in your own skin and that it’s okay to be different." Prince said that the book is Rodman’s "own way of reaching out to his own children after everything that’s happened." In past years, Rodman has spent time in rehab and been arrested for drunken driving and domestic violence. Do you think the book is a nice step in the right direction? Or is it just plain weird?

i don't see why people think its weird, i think he is a pretty awesome guy. trying to help kids learn and make them love who they are is not weird if you ask me, he has a lot of good moral views i think, likes animals too which is a big thumbs up in my book. i thnk he is great for writing a kids book. :)

Rodman is weird. Anything he writes would have to be weird. He married Madonna and she's weird. The children who read his book will be weird!

While the guy looks like a freak from the reject pile of bad dreams, that necessarily does not mean the book will be bad.

we all have a story to tell. I'm thankful that Dennis is able to tell his story.
we all need to let our children and all of the children around us know that
anything is possible you have to do your best in everything you try. we all
can't be at the top we all have our own place. thank God for your abilities
and talents. Maybe writing a book, painting a picture, reading to old people
at the nursing home. cooking a pie and giving it to a neighbor.
So praise God for Dennis's abilities and talents.

I think it's wonderful. I think its about time that people learnt that it is ok too be different. Ok, no, Dennis isn't some neat, sensible, stereotypical father figure - but at least he knows he has done wrong, and is now taking a turn for the best - and he is helping the younger generation in their futures. When are people going to learn that looks don't matter. He may look different, but by the sounds of it, he adores his children and wants whats best for them - just like any other parent... tattooed or plain. Pierced or plain.
Clearly, those who voted 'weird' are ignorant and blatantly think that no one can change for the better, and are also willing to deny someone the chance to change.

The book itself may not be weird. However, the idea of Dennis Rodman writing a children's book sure as hell is weird.

Dennis Rodman is actually a pretty intelligent guy. He's also led an interesting and successful life that I'm sure is full of valuable lessons tgat children could use.

Just a fact. Here's an example how DIFFERENT they really are:

I haven't implied anything. Maybe if you could read English, you would know that I was suggesting that you have made an implication about the so called black community. In fact, I was outright asking you a question.

Oh I already have one, but thank you for the sentiment. You're a nice guy, I had you all wrong maybe. Perhaps you were just noticing and genuinely appreciating the unique qualities of the black community, just as all communities and cultures have their own unique qualities.

Thanks for showing us what IGNORANT looks like. There are thousands of ignorant web sites like that showing how "white" people are just DIFFERENT, how they are the most pedophiles and child rapists, but I am not ignorant enough to post those web sites as you are.

So take your racism and shove it up your you know what.

I doubt the book is about him having sex with women and getting tattoos. It's a children's book, I don't see how it would be weird.

No kidding, right? I wonder if people knew some of the things that go on in the private lives of some of their favorite children's book authors, would the be so quick to stop reading to their kids.
