The Twenty Five Most Inappropriate Childrens' Books Ever...

[elrhiarhodan]

Okay - have to admit that I'm not all sunshine and smiles today. Whether it's the post Big Bang doldrums or the lack of sleep or just a general bad mood, I'm really not fit for public consumption today.

But browsing through Boing Boing brought this to my attention and put a huge grin on my face: The Top 25 Weirdest and Most Inappropriate Children's books of All Time!

Yes, there really are books called "My Big Book of Pretty Pussies" and "Why God Gave Us Ice Cream."

That was hysterical and somewhat frightening.

Although I must object to the inclusion of Cooking with Pooh on that list!

I thought of you and shared your outrage at the inclusion of that title!

Yeah, okay, I can believe that some of this got the green light back before the PC Police started roaming the halls. But yeesh, some of that is just plain frightening, and I don't care when you grew up. Fun with tin foil? I can imagine having nightmares after looking at that book!

Oh, and Cooking with Pooh? Is a double-entendre no matter when you grew up. I'm just sayin'.

The two that get me are "The Mystery of the Midget Clown" and "Let's Play Indoors". Sheesh!

Haha, I actually saw "How God Gives us Ice Cream" at a thrift store not too long ago. And yes, I immediately shared that glory with others.

What's nice about the list is that the complier actually has physical copies of all of these books - he even acknowledged that there are a lot of photoshopped ones, but wanted people to know that these are real!

A Visit to the Big House. Wonder if that was written by June, Mozzie, or Neal? LOL
