Childless her, so most of those titles go right by me. However, years ago I spotted "The Runaway Bunny" in a store and mentioned it to a friend, who bought it for her nephew (age maybe two). Well, she read it to him. And he carried it to another adult and asked that they read it to him. Seemingly he spent the next couple of days having people read it to him over and over and over ....

When I worked at the library, I fell in love with the books "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs," "Tuesdays," and "Tacky the Penguin." Tacky is especially fun!

I heartily agree. The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog, while a decent sequel, isn't in the same class.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've just started reading Owen Shel Silverstein poetry before bedtime--which appropo of the BW discussion, includes They Put a Brassier on the Camel.
I never had issues with total strangers watching me nurse. It was acquaintences that made ME uncomfortable. People I sort of knew, but not well, but that I would have to look in the eye again at some point. This, of course, was a total ME thing.

Front Page? shudder ... poor baby.
We put Sharepoint on our web site, so I had to learn enough to run that - the 2002 version. I used the "inside out" book and it helped.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus set off some conformist knee jerk reaction in me.
Of course he's not allowed to drive the bus. Please hit him to make him stop trying.

I have a somewhat similar recation to the joke "Why can't an elephant ride a bike? Because he doesn't have any thumbs to ring the bell."
No bike I ever owned had a bell, so even as a kid, I hated that joke.
Okay, maybe it's a totally different reaction to an utterly dissimilar situation, but I thought about it just now.

Oh, and the woman who wrote "Pat the Bunny" went to my college, so every time there's a new edition, there's a mention on the "Alumni Publications" page. Ditto for her daught, who wrote "Pat the Cat".
