(CNN) -- Rush Limbaugh -- radio host, conservative firebrand and... children's book author of the year?

The Children's Book Council and its Every Child a Reader program released on Thursday their author-of-the-year finalists for their annual Children's and Teen Choice Book Awards.

Limbaugh is one of the four finalists, and his nomination has prompted outrage on social media, given the host's often-incendiary nature.

Limbaugh's book is titled, "Rush Revere and The Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans" - a time-traveling tale of colonial America and the latest of two books in the "Rush Revere Series" published last year by Simon & Schuster.

God help someone speak the truth.

How can you give an award to a children’s book if there’s not a single gay character in it?!

[grimalkin]

The only tolerance libs have are of other libs. They are the most hypocritcal people in the world.

[Gaffer]

Our main enemies aren’t in Russia, the Mideast, or in China; they are here right next door to us, in our schools, our churches, and our government.

[Tulane]

Exactly right

“Exactly right”

So performance doesn’t matter once you make the list, then it’s based on opinion.

Once it runs counter to the PC version of history, then all bets are off.

[SoFloFreeper]

The left hates truth.

[Ancient Man]

It’s become comical how the liberal press attempts to delegitimize, marginalize and discount conservatives. “Firebrand” “incendiary” for a conservative, but never any such attribution to psychotic liberals like Piglousy and her fellow (lemmings) travelers.

[Tupelo]

Well,this is from CNN. We still haven't heard from MSNBC. Their reaction should be even better since to them, Rush Limbaugh is even more badder worser than Fred Phelps.

If you have not read the book, please buy it for yourself, your grandkids and other children.

Rush always points out that true history is not being taught in schools and this book is a tremendous, exciting and extremely well written book about the pilgrims.

I hope he wins and the left’s heads will explode.

My wife bought the book for my 12 YO son...he loved it!

If I can pat myself on the back a little, I've imbued him with a passion for history.

During football season, he came out of the game after a head-to-head hit. He was a bit woozy, so I went down to the field to check on him. I asked him 3 questions:

1. What happened on 12/7/1941? Check.

2. What happened on 3/6/1836? Check.

3. What happened on 11/22/1963? He needed a hint (I was in 4th grade). Check.

I told the coach, he's good to go.

His teammates had that "wow" look...they had no clue. lol

The CBC letter goes on to say the kids, who will start voting next week, ultimately decide which author wins in each of the six categories, including best author. The letter goes on to assure that the organization has a procedure in place to protect against fraud and adult's voting in the contest.

Cough, cough. I'll bet !

[randita]

You must be a Texan.

Truth : Leftists :: Kryptonite : Superman

[Night Hides Not]

I'm a "naturalized" Texan. My 3 kids are 5th generation Texan.

I've told them there are two good things I've done for them:

1. I made sure they were born in Texas.

2. I taught them how to swim.

Anything else is pure gravy. lol

[facedown]

Isn’t the Pilgrims book the first one?

[MrB]

Ever since Genesis 3...

[Seattle Conservative]

Pat - FYI

[Peet]

Isn’t the Pilgrims book the first one?
