Hahaha I had the same reaction |
I didn’t smoke anything but I have so many thoughts about my daughter’s books. Ox Cart Man - possibly the greatest work of American (yankee) propaganda. A masterpiece. Eloise - absolute tragedy. I have literally teared up at the part where she keeps her bag packed in case her absent mother sends for her which she clearly never does. Olivia - what if Eloise was not at all charming, had no challenges and was a pig Harold and the Purple Crayon - joy in book form, proof of man’s divine creation imo Good Night Moon - a lot better than Runaway Bunny. Major upgrade. Bedtime for Zoe (what’s up Lovevery peeps) - does Zoe know she’s getting a sibling? Is this a real bathroom, or is there a set somewhere in Burbank labeled “basic rich beech house?” Do real people actually have rugs like that because wouldn’t it just get gross and snagged like immediately? Maybe they are a no shoe family. Is that racist? So cozy! Pajama Time - I can’t decide which way to pronounce “pajama” even when I try. I sleep naked. This isn’t for me but it’s fun. The Very Hungry Caterpillar - I get it, I’m fat. I’ll go eat a nice green leaf. |
Please post more often. Dcum needs you |

One more thing:
I would like someone to make a children’s book where the text is the lyrics of One Of Us by Joan Osborne that I can use to answer all of my child’s religious questions. |
| This is my least favorite little blue truck book. The rides-r-us line bothers me for some reason. I hid it at my mother’s house so I don’t have to read it to my son. I love the others. |
Rides R Us bothers you but you are fine with a slow driving know it all getting a PARADE for holding up traffic with self-righteous little speeches? |
| 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re totally right. |
I had no idea. Love the books. Thanks OP for this thread! |
|
This is hilarious. I had both of the Little Blue Truck books memorized for a while bc my son read them so much.
I HATE the Giving Tree. What an awful kid. |
| I miss the little blue truck. I did read the Christmas one in target the other day. I almost bought it, but I don’t think my 11yo would appreciate it anymore. |
I read the mayors impromptu speech in Bernie Sanders’ voice. Makes my husband crack up from wherever in the house he is. |

Also Curious George! About an illegally poached monkey who smokes, goes to prison, and gets into other antics, Not cute and cuddly at all LOL |
| Curious George should seriously be banned. His "friend" literally abducts him and then raises him like a human child? I don't know if the slavery or the child abuse angle is more disturbing. |
Phahaha yes please post more! Runaway bunny and the giving tree are the worst. I refuse to read them. Spot on about pajama time too
