Loathe The Enormous Turnip.

They pulled and pulled and the turnip still didn't budge.

Even as a child, I was thinking "get to the fecking mouse and we can do something more interesting".

Have no opinion on the bear hunt book. Don't mind gruffalo.

What about Room on the Broom? I've read this so many times that I find myself putting every other story to rhyme afterwards.

SorenLorensen · 15/02/2006 14:05

The worst children's books of all are Rev. Awdry's Thomas ones. How I loathe those books. Gruffalo and Bear Hunt are fantastic in comparison.

looking forward to the film though

The bloke who got eaten was a nutter though. His girlfriend got eaten too. She was probably a nutter as well.

Oi - it's only natural - it's our sine qua non, it's what we do. Don't go attaching some human emotion/conscience malarkey to it. Evil and bugger are very strong words. My advice to you: if you go down to the woods today, you'd better not go alone.

Enid · 15/02/2006 13:59

massive poof and a weedy wet

popsycalindisguise · 15/02/2006 13:59

hate the bearhunt book
love the gurffalo
love smartest giant in town (and all the other books by that author)

harpsichordcarrier · 15/02/2006 13:58

we dream of Bear Hunt in this house
we are in a phase of Dinsey Winnie the Pooh Golden TReasury books that some GIT gave us
all sickly Americanisms and moralistic messages
and so looooooong too
story time is queasy time

Bears definitely deadly. See that new Werner Herzog fillum about the bloke who went off to live with and film bears, glorious harmony with nature, et cetera...and then they ate him. With the sound still running.

Evil buggers, bears, I reckon.
