No one stopped her.
There is so much here for a child to ask his mommy about.
This is the part in the famous poem when Gilligan and his buddies take Ecstasy and tell each other how they feel.
Yeah, yeah purple guy, we've all seen your foot between your butt cheeks trick.
That's a lot of booties going to see Rapunzel.
Uncle Randy and his girlfriend from the city.
Finally, a break from all the bottoms. Thanks, Carol.
Unfortunately, To Children, With Respect did not seem to make it past this volume. Or so my lack of research has led me to assume.
Perhaps parents sensed Carol's sinister motives and stayed away from the book; only those damned liberal libraries had the gall to purchase it.
I am pretty sure every single one of those illustrations would have given me nightmares as a child. That Carol lady is a masochist.
ReplyDeletethis carol woman sounds like my mom...hmmm
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd seen more bottoms when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI had this volume as a child. I absolutely adored it.
ReplyDeleteI have always thought that this was the best illustrated version of this tale, and preferred it to Dore's woodcuts. I read this version when I was five, and fancy enough I have had an extremely successful and normal life. Not everyone has a weak sense of self.
ReplyDeleteOh Gweenbrick, pathetic review, what more can I say.
you know this was just a dumb joke review done one bored evening, right?
DeleteI loved this book as a child and read it many times. Yeah the illustrations are bizarre but they drew me into the story. I was fascinated and frightened and intrigued--and read a classic poem probably 200 times.
ReplyDeleteThanks to this review I've found the name of the illustrator so I can find a copy for my kids. Thanks.
Cool.Its not really a review. I was just being silly. But I have gotten so many emails about that book and how I was unkind to it. I meant no harm to the book at all.
