so an old friend of mine just had a boy

I want to suggest some good children's books to him because he wants to read to his kid as much as possible

I have already suggested Swimmy the story of a a little fish that convinces the other fish to swim together so they look like a big fish in order to keep from being eaten by other big fish

anyone got any good suggestions?

theres a conservative in the closet and a liberal under my bed by dnl

10/7/2008 12:18:07 AM

too easy...

10/7/2008 12:22:09 AM

too predictable

I'm looking for some actual progressive stuff

like environmentalist children's books and anti-racist stuff

10/7/2008 12:29:52 AM

Sorry, can't help you. The only children's books I plan on giving to my kids are filled with racism.

10/7/2008 12:31:44 AM

my children are watching cops and riding the public transportation lol

10/7/2008 12:32:44 AM

^^ haha i almost spit my decaf coffee out at that

10/7/2008 1:20:46 AM

You should give him those books that have the subliminal gay messages

Dr. Seuss sounds like the way to go on this one. Can't remember the exact titles, but there are several with those themes.

what's liberal about that?

10/7/2008 5:46:02 AM

Wump World has a good environmental message. Its been around for decades though so might be older than what you want. I'm sure if you just go to a bookstore someone could help you

10/7/2008 7:40:21 AM

^^agreed. Thats a good, sensible children's book.

Let me guess this guy isn't going to want his kids to watch Looney Toons either

Everyone is different, no two people are not on fire.

I wonder what Goldwater would think of the current conservative's fiscal choices.

10/7/2008 10:49:23 AM

ha, I don't. I have a pretty good guess.

10/7/2008 10:52:18 AM

great storyline, children will love it

Seriously there is a book called "Click, Clack, Moo". It is about cows who refuse to give milk unless the farmer gives them blankets or something. My wife's cousin who is a liberal professor of economics gave it to us "to teach our daughter about the importance of labor unions". That was his quote.

wrong.

oh, and for a liberal book I recommend The Rainbow Fish

10/7/2008 11:03:23 AM

10/7/2008 11:11:22 AM

^ But this theme isn't in any of his books, which I assume is what GrumpyGOP was talking about. his books have messages of equality

there are overtones of labor organizing in this book - at least I'm reading it that way
its an anarcho-syndicalist children's book

10/7/2008 11:22:44 AM

Just give him this book



If he's like me he will read it 800,000 times.

10/7/2008 11:38:36 AM

I read that book when I was little.

10/7/2008 11:59:22 AM

^^Oh fuck yeah. Damn I loved all his books.

10/7/2008 12:01:12 PM

Honestly, the kid will have no interest in books unless they are pop-up/have stuff he can touch until he is 2 or 3. Any book up until 2 years old will just get torn apart

10/7/2008 12:08:20 PM

^^^^ holy shit!

goldbug motherfuckers

10/7/2008 12:12:09 PM

10/7/2008 12:16:20 PM

you don't just give the kid the book
jesus

but you read from the book to the kid as much as you can

10/7/2008 12:16:53 PM

kinda looks like a girl book, but has shiny flashy pics so...
