What can you say about kids? They love dark, weird stories with dubious morals. Frankly, Children’s Literature alone is enough to make me pump the brakes on making a new one and sending it out into the world. They all seem like tiny sociopaths who like I Want My Hat Back or the part in James And The Giant Peach when the eponymous peach kills the aunts.
Nevertheless, there will come a day where I find myself reading Click Clack Moo for the 800th time, hoping the socialist overtones resonated with my child. Hopefully, they will. More likely, they’ll like the sound and then ask me to reread some of More Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark (a book that still terrifies me to this day).
Here’s a fun fact: did you know that in the first edition of Grimms Fairy Tales, all the evil stepmothers were the kids’ biological mothers, but people complained that moms would never do that to their offspring, so they changed it to “stepparents” and everyone agreed that was fine? Change nothing else, fellas. As long as the moms aren’t the ones throwing a child into a stew or abandoning kids in the woods.
From there, children’s stories only get darker, funnier, and weirder. Honestly, good. Kids should be frightened that someone might leave them in the woods or a grocery store. It prepares them for being an adult when you are riddled with free-floating anxiety and dread about imaginary things that will likely never ever happen to you.
