I mean how dare donkeys go to the police with their problems! Do they even pay taxes?Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig

What?

Oh. What I meant was how dare William Steig portray the police as pigs! That is outrageous.

From A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein

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 Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell. Illustrated by Henry Cole.

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.

Happy Banned Books Week!
