RE: Children's Books That Are Not For Children (WTF?)
For me there no debate here, these books are not for children, they are a parody, illustrated in children’s book fashion (badly as well). The debate for me is... is it OK to make these jokes?!
A few years ago the Peter and Jane Ladybird Keyword series (used in the 70s to teach children how to read in the UK) was used to create a parody to address adult issues that is quite funny and less offensive but also not for kids. It has been a huge success as they makes very popular gifts.
In any case thanks for sharing this. It is an eye opener. I specialise in children’s picturebooks and I had never seen anything quite like this! :)
Oh! Thank you for the input! :)
I just get a bit "sensitive" when it comes to sexual innuendos and children. Sarcasm, just like those books you showed us, is less harmful (IMO).
