There are lots of really fun childrens books out there...I really like all the Leap frog , Mercer mayer books, Clifford, and of course Dr. Seuss Books! Our little book collection is growing and we are finding that some of our previous garage sale finds are GREAT childrens books!
However the other night I found a bad apple in the bunch.... So they each get to choose 2 books to read at bed time. on this particular night she chose a cute looking book called " How Smudge came" looks like a cute book right?
OH No...it is not cute! If you read the back cover you find out that the main character has down syndrome, but I only found that out by a review on the back cover- in the book it just seems like everyone around this woman is controling and mean.... The wording was alkward and in the third person. and this is seriously the worst sentence that I have Ever seen in a childrens book, and I QUOTE
" Here's Ian, who isnt very old, but he is ugly with diesase and is going to
die. sometimes tears trickle out of his nearly blind eyes."Who puts that in a childrens book, I was shocked as I read it... Yeah this book it going in the garbage...not Good-Will... the garbage!
So What are your favorite childrens books?
