Bill O'Reilly is writing a children's book with James Patterson about the magical word 'please'

Fox News' Bill O'Reilly might be better known as a conservative commentator than he is for his side job writing books with the word "killing" in the title, but Page Six reports he will be joining forces with crime author James Patterson to publish a children's book this fall.

Give Please a Chance, due out this November, will add some levity to O'Reilly's bibliography, which includes works like Hitler's Last Days.

"It's a picture book ... for little kids just beginning to read and has great illustrations from different artists," O'Reilly explained to Page Six. "The message for children is that 'please' is a magical word. Like if you need a cookie or if you need a bedtime story, you also need to use the word 'please.'"
