On Tuesday, @Morris_Monye, a Twitter user, tweeted a Tiktok video of a female voice reading an illustrated book.

This book, ‘Mary Has A Little Pussy’, is about a young girl who has a cat, but its contents have raised eyebrows as they have dual meanings.

An excerpt from this book reads, “Mary likes to show her pussy to all her friends. She invites her friends to stroke her pussy as well.”

In sharing the video, the tweep’s caption read, “To be Christian in this era might be the most difficult thing ever. Fighting on all fronts.”

His cryptic caption is not unconnected to the worry over sexual undertones in the presumed children’s book. Other Twitter users raised these worries in the comments section of the video seen over a million times.

CLAIM: Book with sexual undertones was made for children.

VERIFICATION: FIJ looked the book up on Amazon, an online marketplace.

We found the paperback book published by Flyingcorn Publishing on June 8, 2018.

In its description, the publisher clearly states that it is a book for adults, and is intended to be a hilarious gift disguised as a regular children’s book.

FIJ also found that there are similar books written in this style published for adults to have a good laugh, and to be harmless to children.

These books have titles similar to ‘Mary Has A Little Pussy’, and are available for sale online.

FIJ also checked the original Tiktok account, @jenjenivive2, that uploaded the original video.

On her page, the book reading has been seen over 3.5 million times as of the time of filing this report.

Her page profile reads, “Reading adult parody books just for fun.” She has read other similar books, and posted the videos on her account.

CONCLUSION: The claim that the book was intended to teach sex education to children is misleading.
