One Penguin at a Time…
September 30th, 2009 by SaraDoesn’t this picture make you ANGRY! I mean how dare donkeys go to the police with their problems! Do they even pay taxes?
What?
Oh. What I meant was how dare William Steig portray the police as pigs! That is outrageous.
And this poem… it just really gets under my skin.
Clearly, it’s teaching materialism by advocating shopping as an exciting activity.
What?
Oh. I meant that Shel Silverstein is teaching our children to be disrespectful and downright malicious! This is terrible.
And how about these cute penguins?? They really make my blood boil! Cause they’re cute and they look like they’re smiling and we all know that penguins don’t smile.
And… um… tell me again what was wrong with the cute penguins?
Oh right. I hate it when books show happy families that love each other. Especially when they’re based on true stories. Those are the WORST.
Clearly picture books are tearing apart the fabric of America, one penguin at a time.
