[quote=Anonymous](1) I agree with what everyone has already said about Mo Willems books. They're so gimmicky and stupid. (2) I will probably get flamed for this, but I actually don't like "Where the Wild Things Are." It's sort of menacing and seems like a not-so-subtle commentary on colonialism (yes, I CLEARLY started overthinking this book on the 50th read). (3) "More More More Said the Baby" is also sort of creepy. The dad in the first vignette strikes me as a sex offender. (4) The worst book we own, though, is a truly, truly awful book called "Love Can Build a Bridge," or, as my DH and I have come to call it, "Love Can Build a F---ing Bridge." I grabbed it at a used book sale because the illustrations were amazing. I didn't realize that the words are literally the lyrics to a Wynonna Judd song. The illustrations are actually really sweet and life-like, but the words... oh, the words... We had to hide it after about the hundredth read.[/quote]
