Inspired by the book “Go The Fuck To Sleep,” I decided to make a few changes to some classic children's literature. Check out these titles:
“Love You Sometimes (And Now is Not One of Those Times)”
An endearing, true-life story of a frazzled parent who is at the end of their rope with their toddler, and expresses it in moment of stark honesty. Teaches children the value of being truthful and tactful at the same time. (Original here)
“Where The Wild Things Used to Be”
Max returns to where the Wild Things are to find that they've all been killed by poachers. This heart-breaking tale can be used by parents to help their children understand the concept of death and dying. (Original here)
“The Little Engine that Couldn't Remember if He Could or Not”
The Little Engine is much older now, and Alzheimer's is creeping in. Before he used to think he could, but now he's not so sure. Will his friends help him figure things out, or will he wander off on his own (again)? This story can teach children why Grammie or Grampa doesn't remember them anymore. (Original here)
After I made the images above, I realized that I was beginning to feel tempted to actually write the stories to go along with them. Is there a market for parodies of books for children?
If I saw these in a bookstore, I'd totally buy them.
