I LOVE Pout, Pout Fish!  It’s not assault - it’s a kiss!  Plus it has the best rhymes. [/quote]

If you were swimming laps and some dude swam up and kissed you, you'd definitely think it was assault!

Mine is Berenstain bears--they are so long![/quote]

I was looking to see if anyone had Berenstain Bears. I couldn’t stand them as a child and never read them to my child. However, I admittedly can’t remember why I dislike them so much.  :lol: [/quote]

I will remind you - in the longer stories, the rhymes are a stretch and they make fun of fathers in every book which I find demeaning.[/quote]

Actually, I thought it was the other way around. There's one story called The Blame Game. The kids get in trouble and Mama becomes the stereotypical hysterical mom while Papa remains calm and comes up with the sensible solution. I find that part so annoying that I just scream and throw the book. Luckily DH is more relaxed and intervenes.[/quote]

Lol!

Still don't like those BB books.

I do love The Lorax and The Giving Tree, though both are sad. I agree with pp that The Giving Tree is rather sophisticated.

And love Fancy Nancy for the reason a pp described. So much better than other early readers.

I don't like Dog Man or Captain Underpants personally, but appreciate that they get reluctant readers sitting down and reading an entire book. So they're great for that. And occasionally I do lol at the author's references to Dickens and whatnot.[/quote]
