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?

+4i 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. :)

+1None of us have read the book yet. If the story isn't coming from Rodman's outrageous side what's wrong with it? If it's well written and focuses on things kids can learn from why NOT? People can change-I know. I did a lot of stupid things and when I finally got my head out of my #@! I've become a person I can be proud of.reply - Diana 2012/08/11 17:55:37Weird+1Weird,I hope he doesn't have his picture in those books.reply

- Ekua 2012/08/11 15:08:09Wonderful+1Read the book yourself before you judge it's message. Check Louis Carroll's background, he wrote Alice in Wonderland which is considered a children's classic.reply
- no1ymfan 2012/08/11 14:31:43WonderfulAs long as they don't have an "About the Author" section in the back with a picture of his face... That might scare the children...reply
- Beat Magnum True Hero 2012/08/11 14:30:52Wonderful+1And I'll tell you why... I am weird (if you all haven't figured that out yet), I grew up weird, I'm a weird adult, and let me tell you, in a world that wants to keep you down, it's nice to know that someone's encouraging you to let your freak flag fly and be different. We're all freaks, we just express it differently. Being different sucks when you're a kid, and if this book makes just one offbeat kid feel better about himself, then as the Talmud says; mission accomplished!reply

- Derhub 2012/08/11 01:49:54Weird+2Have heard from numerous sources that he is extremely savvy with strong business acumen and the "freak" stuff is all publicity. I can say the same thing about Alice Cooper and I wouldn't want either of them in my kids heads.reply
