Warped Childrens Books....

So.
I was at a friend's house not too long ago.
And she showed me a book that was given to her little 1 1/2 year old daughter called:



This book is just AWFUL and gross and I don't even know what.
I was mortified.
Then I had to laugh.
Laugh because I think this particular book will be what this book was for me growing up:



To this day The Enormous Crocodile is a book I love but look back on and wonder "What was my mother THINKING letting me read it !" not to mention "What was my private, Catholic school library thinking carrying it?!?!?!".
I attribute a lot of my warpedness to this book.
There are others, but this one is at the forefront of why I'm a little off.
