Show & Tell: Worst Adoption Book EVER
This is almost a wordless Wednesday, though I have a teeny setup for it before getting to the pictures. A few weeks ago, I was at our Friends of the Library bookstore, and saw a book on adoption for kids. For 25 cents, I figured I’d just pick it up and read it later. It’s from 1974, and wow, it’s pretty bad – especially the other book titles in this particular series. Enjoy for a good laugh at how random the book is. “I’m adopted. Trees are green. I have a shoelace.” more or less.
Greatest book eh-vah. My new goal in life is to find the rest of the books in that series. Especially the partially-sighted one.
If it was only that easy…
Maybe it was written by a small child? It has about the right attention span to its subject matter.
Oh, I do hope adoption books have come on a bit since then…
Yep, pretty bad!
Oh my Gawd. It reminds me of Japanese T-shirts that have utterly random English sayings that appear to have been picked out of a hat.
It definitely has an ummmm, errrrr, unusual approach.
You know, I liked it up until that last part. It’s very matter-of-fact, like “this is my life – I have a friend, I’m adopted, my mom lets me cook.” Then they just completely deviated at the end…
I could tell from page 1…
oh my… thats all I can say
Hmmm. Reminds me of Anchorman, Steve Carrell – “I love lamp.”
Wow! A bit all over the place, to say the least. I, too, am interested in the other books in the series…fort eh whole 4 pages they devote the actual main topic!
Thanks for sharing!
I’m just thinking what my niece (who is adopted) would say about this book, lol! She’s 8 and she loves to read, but I think she would look at me and say “That’s it? I could have written a better book!” Lol! Cute though and nice to have as a collector
Oh. My. God. Too funny… in that very not funny way. It’s amazing how far books have come isn’t it? And the ability to actually TALK about things that weren’t talked about before?
