Besides ... the world produced scads of literate, intelligent people for centuries before book-shaped pacifiers and toys started being sold for children to slobber on. I'm simply not buying the premise of the article. Don't get me wrong; I think promoting literacy is a very admirable thing. I just don't think giving book-shaped toys to children too young to understand the concept of being read to (let alone reading) plays much of a "real" role in promoting literacy.
