MADONNA - MADONNA RELIED ON GHOSTWRITER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS

Pop queen MADONNA's Kabbalah-focused children's books were ghostwritten by somebody else, according to reports.

A writer working for the Kabbalah Centre wrote MR PEABODY'S APPLES, YAKOV AND THE SEVEN THIEVES and most recently LOTSA DE CASHA, allowing Madonna to take all the praise - claims PageSix.com.

A source tells the New York-based site, "All of Madonna's books are written by the Kabbalah Centre's official ghostwriter, EITAN YARDENI.

"Eitan also writes all of YEHUDA and PHILLIP BERG's books and the Kabbalah Books for the Centre.

"Last summer, he flew to London to help Madonna write the last book, but she didn't really do anything."
