[quote=Anonymous]I like piggie and elephant but not the irritating pigeon. Youve already hit most of my top “this is awful” books—giving co-dependent tree, skippyjon racist jones, etc. I’ll add: bratalicious Pinkalicious, the thomas tank engine books where the steamies deride and abuse the diesels (is it racist? Is it classist? Is it just too british?) Give a mouse a cookie, etc. which is like reagonomics for children (don’t give the mouse a cookie because then she’ll just be delpendent on handouts and expect you to pay for her five kids to go to college—eat the cookie yourself and the benefits will eventually trickle down to the mouse) If someone wants a really lovely expression of maternal love to counter the giving tree, try Mama Do You Love Me? Where the kid posits outrageously bad behavior and the mom admits she would be angry as anything but would still love him. [/quote]
