Geri Halliwell has written a series of children's books inspired by ex-Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham.
Geri's tales feature a nine-year-old girl who bears a striking resemblance to her creator, as well as a princess called Posh Vatoria.
The series follows a schoolgirl called Ugenia Lavender, who shares Geri's red hair and striking blue eyes, and has a talent for solving mysteries.
She describes Ugenia as "flawed, demanding and obnoxious" but adds that she "cares about the world she lives in".
Posh Vatoria, created with Victoria's blessing, intimidates the flame-haired heroine in one story by arriving at a party in a limousine.
Geri said: "She was very flattered and I hope she is going to read the books to her boys. I have only cast people if it is authentic to the story. I don't know if the other Spice Girls will be in there."
Geri, 34, started writing the book while pregnant with 11-month-old daughter Bluebell Madonna.
Her decision to follow the path of other star children's authors Madonna and Will Smith doesn't signal the end of Geri's music career though.
She plans to record a theme song in conjunction with her books.
Books will hit shelves each month, starting in May 2008, up until October.

"Mommy, we're hungry! There's no food!"
"Ouch, mommy! It hurts when you hug me!"
A childhood classic...

Hah!! Well, I can appreciate the fact that she's apparently trying to be honest and "self-deprecating".

Are these books for dyslexics maybe? Vatoria and Ugenia? You know, you can get those pre-written kids' books where you just get the publisher to insert the (mis-spelled) names of your friends

Is this really the type of material any caring parent would want to expose her child to? This book is written by woman who has had her own scandals and it is inspired by an unhealthy looking, wine diet touting, washed up pop star. There are no better role models I can think of.

Children's Book?
a nine-year-old girl . . . arriving at a party in a limousine.
I'm sure there are alot of children who can relate to that.
