yeah thats nuts
i asked on the childrens book thread, does anyone know which Scarry book featured a small scene of a guy (cat or pig, can't remember) going fishing on a pier, and he hooks something really big and it pulls him in.
I remember the book had a lot of gazelles in it.

I still have my copy of What People Do All Day Animal Nursery Tales and Cars and Trucks and Things That Go from my childhood, though they have seen better days, spines are splitting and I colored on a lot of pages. But we found a nice copy of Scarry's Best Storybook Ever at a flae market, and August loves it. The Teeny Tiny Woman use to scary me as a kid, "Give Me My Bone"!!!!!!

Cars and Trucks and Things That Go
Goldbug was stumping us the other night on the ferry page until we spotted him way down in the corner.

cars and trucks and things that go is funny. my kid love Goldbug. line that resonates with me for some reason phrasing wise is on the page with the car pileup: "That is what I would call SOME ACCIDENT."

In my childhood I harboured thoughts of smoking baccy with one of those Gen MacArthur style corn-cob pipes and opening up a cannibal butchery store. Ban this filth!
