Children’s Books that Will Creep You Out
The strata of subject matter covered in children’s books today is broad and yet niched. There is hardly an issue children face today that isn’t comfortingly address in a book somewhere out there. Which is great. Then again, there is some subject matter better left alone.
Probably good advice, but yikes.
Your kids are never too young to learn about the benefits of marijuana.
Umm, is that kid covered in poop?
The audience for this book must be very, very narrow.
Maybe I should give this to my kids as a primer for when daddy has to go “on a long trip” after dodging taxes since 2002.
Let’s put the book down and get you to a doctor, kid.

there is nothing creepy about it except your prejudice against this disability.
i’m glad there is a book for them, even if it is a narrow audience, they are people, too.

Maggie commented on Jan 09 10 at 1:07 pmI agree with Ana about the Conjoined Twins book … wouldn’t you rather your child knew how to behave around them? or would you rather be the parent whose child points and screams “two-headed monster” at a couple of perfectly nice kids?
And about the dads in jail … kids need to know about that, too. What if your Dad was in jail, wouldn’t you want to know that had happened to other kids too? Some of the folks in jail are innocent, by the way.
I’m not sure there IS subject matter “best left alone” if it’s happening somewhere to some kid.
