36. Rapunzel I wonder what it was like to publish stories about heteronormative families with uncomplicated love for one another in the late 20th century. Especially as Hyman herself was divorced, with a child; she may have been gay. What was she looking for in her art?pic.twitter.com/eU85Yy1o5h
37. Calvin and Hobbes Extremely good to read as a parent or as a kid or just generally. The complete collection is very nice but heavy for small hands. I used to babysit a bright two year old named Phinneas who identified with Calvin intensely. He made his own transmogrifier.pic.twitter.com/ujo4U3BXB1
38. Swimmy A children's introduction to ecobolshevism, ethereally illustratedpic.twitter.com/8zA6es7Wdv
39. Strega Nona A good introduction to the multifarious dangers of witchcraft, and the corruption of even the clergy by that black art. Excellent preparatory material for a future scholar of Malleus Maleficarumpic.twitter.com/eMp3W4U067
40. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Stories are not actually scary. Appropriate for ages 0-3.pic.twitter.com/2Mg3tPZB4z
41. Where The Wild Things Are Monarchoprimitivist Calvin and Hobbespic.twitter.com/v9J6hVQ4qk
42. Corduroy Every think about how corduroy is probably actually a terrible fabric for a stuffed animal of any varietypic.twitter.com/8idYcX6Jt2
43. Goodnight Moon Deep lore: 1. My ex had a theory the old woman was actually a ghost 2. Some old biddy kept this out of the New York Public Library for decadespic.twitter.com/1fuP9pvPuO
Found more books on another bookcase Kids like diversity in their reading material right
Baby is not due til late February/early March and this is all I know how to do to prepare for being a dad I find myself getting more books about as quickly I list them here, another dozen or two are on the way along with a few dozen I have that I haven't posted yet Oh dear
44. Augie and the Green Knight
By @ZachWeiner and illustrated by @Bouletcorp
I backed this on Kickstarter but lost the original copy
It is extremely good, perfect really, for an unusually precocious grade schooler but might not be fully appreciated otherwisepic.twitter.com/UQCk6W9xrQ
45. Charlotte's Web welphttps://twitter.com/mikeets14/status/1289329699735257088?s=19 …
46. The Big Brown Bear
Another extremely dumb book and I loved it when I was three
Long-suffering wives with dumb husband's appears to be an ancient trope
Sorry @selentelechia we become the stories we readpic.twitter.com/9nViIvWz1j
47. The Gashlycrumb Tinies A firm, morally-upright traditional British alphabet bookpic.twitter.com/wH0ZRq8lSK
48. Bare Bear An ethnographic extract regarding the vile sartorial habits of polar megafauna Hilarious to four year oldspic.twitter.com/WOmzLqCUWn
49. Various Eric Carle books Overall would rate: Caterpillar: 10/10 Ladybug: 6/10 Bear: 7/10 Spider: 9/10 Rereading I was slightly irritated that they're overengineered pedagogical devices rather than just stories but the art is gorgeouspic.twitter.com/Nwbxvyt4JQ
50. The Story of Ferdinand, The Bull Who Just Wanted to Grill, Por Deo's Sake vaguely offensive to the entire Iberian Peninsula probablypic.twitter.com/zjmZ58ckdq
51. The Tyger Voyage From the man who brought you Watership Down and Shardik, a Victorian tale of a father-son voyage (they are Tigers) No horrifying animal deaths but there is an element of the occult Newer versions have replaced the g-word with the preferred "Vistani"pic.twitter.com/3NMHYSuW8K
52. Dorrie's Magic From a mutual's recommendation. Very much a learn-to-read book, I found it charming Dorrie just wants her room to be cleaned and she doesn't want to do it herself. Deeply relatable, with an ultimately Petersonesque messagepic.twitter.com/x77dPWTmPN
53. The Sleeping Beauty Another Hyman retelling, very much not Disney-style A story about the importance of party etiquette and the ineluctability of Fate Illustrations include tasteful nudes and corpsespic.twitter.com/wChyIq7FHr
54. Where the Sidewalk Ends Various horrifying poems and illustrations by Shel Silverstein, a strange man Beloved by third graders who have to read a poem for school I have to say they have stuck with mepic.twitter.com/DDBrAryXIK
55. A Child's Garden of Verses
By Robert Mother Louis Fucking Stevenson!
Probably more for reading to than reading by; poems about life from the perspective of a child.
Gorgeous art neaveau illuminations
I think @orthonormalist told me to get this one, glad I did.pic.twitter.com/EqDcppPb8c
56. Alice I am dismayed to report I somehow never got this as a child; seems right not to repeat this error (although another book had Jabberwocky and the illustration and that was absolutely terrifying at four) Recently reissued in glorious color; Carroll remains uncancelled.pic.twitter.com/xaOixWwmDQ
57. The Little Island A little jewel of a book, a year passing from the perspective of a wise little island Its discourse with a visiting cat is provocative (good sense)pic.twitter.com/g9s4nb1ZX7
58. Mr Wuffles! Like the last book, recommended by a mutual. No words; I understand the game is to ask your child to tell /you/ a story based on the pictures. What do you imagine is happening?pic.twitter.com/FQcTR2M4DZ
59. Time for Bed, Miyuki Guys I love this book, this book is a wonder, consider this book Miyuki, her Grandfather, and the tasks she insists on completing before bed Scale gives way to more important matters in S-tier art Miyuki and Grandfather will appear again soonpic.twitter.com/RYucdcqE6a
60. Well they say that Richard Scarry owns one half of this whole town With political connections To spread his wealth around Born into society a banker's only child He had everything a man could want Power, grace, and style But I work in his factory And I curse the life I'mpic.twitter.com/VIA38Pj3FJ
uh @selentelechia we had better get that bookcase we are very much running out of room in the nursery
