4. Winnie-the-Pooh Sadly I somehow did NOT have this as a child but I will rectify this for the next generation An excellent introduction to Books with Maps which I understand to be a distinct genre of books, you know exactly what I am talking aboutpic.twitter.com/qHJKxT243m
5. Make Way for Ducklings The tragic story of a family of ducks who are forced by circumstance to live in Boston, where local police racially profile thempic.twitter.com/3f9dVG3Ap8
6. Beatrix Potter (various) Stories about anthropomorphic Victorian animals, lovingly illustrated Samuel Whiskers (last photo) terrified mepic.twitter.com/rwQYEzqYFg
7. The Story About Ping A dry treatise on the animal husbandry practices of the Han people of the Yangtze basin during the late Qing Dynasty, I don't know why this is marketed to childrenpic.twitter.com/i3c5Dc0wq9
8. The Clown of God The story of a young boy in Sorrento with a gift. It's an introduction to ageing and death and it is acheingly beautiful. Catholics beware this is a work of blatant Franciscan propagandapic.twitter.com/T4v9OGFXXQ
9. Russian Fairy Tales I have no idea who wrote this and it doesn't matter because it was illustrated by Ivan Bilibin and I could look at his work all day Russian stories are spooky af and kids love scary stuffpic.twitter.com/hN3a2n3iG1
10. Stone Soup Superficially a whimsical tale of three buddies running a friendly scam on a group of villagers, Stone Soup also teaches children about how they too can grow up to eat at the trough of the Military-Industrial Complexpic.twitter.com/DFNqVLG8IS
11. Go Dog Go This book is incredibly stupid 64 pages of this crap I remember liking it but on a second pass I may burn this before my kids take a liking to it and I have to read it every night I regret everything about this bookpic.twitter.com/P56LZ71Pr7
I have lost all respect for you. This is the perfect book. (I yearned for that dog-party tree as a child. Also, the romantic-comedy subplot is deeply satisfying.)
I had not expected this to be so polarizing! I am just having flashbacks to my dad siiiiiiiighing when I wanted him to read it again and dad holy cow I get it now
