Speaking of moose…

I was looking for picture books about moose to put on hold at the library for Niko, when I came across The Moose With Loose Poops, a book that only one library branch had. I could not believe my eyes and snorted a little snort of laughter. Especially when I read this review on Amazon:

I accidentally bought this book (I was thinking of If You Give a Moose a Muffin) but I was entertained just the same. In fact, their plots are kind of similar what with the chain reactions and all.

Apparently, it’s part of a series of picture books discussing medical issues with kids (colds, sore throats, earaches… and gastroenteritis) written by a medical doctor. I can totally see the value of this book, of this series, in helping kids understand what’s going on with their bodies and not be afraid of something that is, frankly, frequently scary.

But dang, man.

Dang.

Slightly less educational but also a lot of fun is the The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business which is a German picture book about a mole who wakes up one morning with a turd on his head and wants to find out whodunit.

I love the illustrator and the little mole gets his sweet revenge in the end. Also, you learn about different animals' poops and what they look like.

You totally put that on inter-library loan for him, didn't you? :)

I am now engaging in a 15 minute period of hating you, for the crime of putting the knowledge of the existence of this book into my head. I announced it on twitter, it will end at 8:33 pm CDT this evening. So if you're feeling a heat on the back of your neck for the next 13 minutes, that's why. >_>

LOL! I love you too!

The hate passed as scheduled, I'm back to loving you again. :) ♥
