Then why are they still at the library?

What are you a fascist or communist? In America we have books that you might not like because gasp! Some people like them!

I thought I was making a joke. Clearly not for everyone.

There was no indication that you were making a "joke" Dictators burn books. If "joking" next time put lol or

Confession: I hate lol. I just do. Let me retry.

Then why are they still in the library? Better?

all dr seuss books. The drawings are weird and scary and the stories are annoying. I hated them as a kid and made a point to not read them to my kid.

Clifford. They look like they were drawn by the dogs, or at least someone with paws. Horrible plots and TOO LONG.

Velveteen Rabbit is just too sad for me.

I actually like Eloise, for chrissakes.

Good night Darth Vader and that whole series. I am glad the cartoonist thought of a shtick, but I find them super super annoying. Unfortunately we got a couple as a gift and 3 year old asked for them every night for months. Ugh.

This was my favorite book as a kid. When I needed to have a good cry, that's where I went!

I hear people say this, but I have to say, my daughter loved these books. They honestly made her love reading.

Why? It's been at least 20 years since I've read that book, so I don't remember it that well.
