My latest Little Golden Book rescued from an Op shop.
pickHeard about this cool 1964 book when I read Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman. Her dad Clifton was S&S‘s editor-in-chief & The New Yorker book critic. He thought young kid‘s books in that era were too easy to read & not challenging enough. He believed children‘s lit must be “smarted up” rather than “dumbed down.” Hence this creative story about a very hungry bookworm who decides to feast on the dictionary for fun word to munch on and learn.🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

One of our favorite restaurants uses choose-your-own-adventure books to give patrons their checks. I approve. (They also have photos of Danzig and heavy metal cats in the bathrooms.)
This poem is one of the reasons that this book was often banned in the 90s. Sigh.
