The book arrived yesterday. Author Adam Mansbach. It's clever and looks like a children's picture book. Nicely illustratored by Ricardo Cortes. Dangerous in a household of kids reading picture books. I hate censorship, but...
As a writer and illustrator of children's book I object to this book looking like what it isn't. Here's an example of some text:
The wind whispers soft through the grass, hon.
The field mice, they make not a peep.
It's been thirty-eight minutes already.
Jesus Christ, what the fu*k? Go to sleep.
I'm not a prude. It's a great book. Just a little bit dangerous for kid control in a household with real kids in it.
That's all folks. Nuf said.
