kid from work got me to read the Magisterium series. I just started book two and I鈥攖his 12 year old (or whatever) pondering his evilness is way too funny to me. I remember being 12. The melodrama. It's so silly but I can't say it's unrealistic.

ALL MY TAILS HAVE POINTS UPON THEM. ALL MY TEETH ARE SHARP AND BLUE."
PIC INFO: Resolution at 1205脳760 -- Spotlight on a double-page spread of a three-headed European mythology-style dragon, artwork by the late, great Eric Carle (1929-2021), from the 1988 children's book "Dragons, Dragons and Other Creatures that Never Were."
"Let me tell you about me. Children love me, You're a child. All my heads are green and handsome. All my eyes are red and wild. All my toes have claws upon them. All the claws have hooks. I blow smoke through all my noses. It is hotter than it looks. All my tails have points upon them. All my teeth are sharp and blue. I won't bite you very badly, I am fond of you. All my scales are shaped like arrows. They will hurt you if you touch. So, although I know you love me, Do not pet me very much."
-- "Dragon" by KARLA KUSKIN

Adventures in Librarian-ing
I've found another book that makes little kids lose their minds: Children Make Terrible Pets by Peter Brown.
Tumblr media
They already get riled up at the title, but they really lose it at the last line of the book, where the main character's mom says "[Children] really are the worst."
"WHAAAT!"
"Excuse you!"
"We are NOT!"
And then they lose their minds all over again when the last page reveals that the bear cub now wants an elephant for a pet.

So who is the best kid's media adult?
Adults in kid's media tend to be useless, enabling the young protagonists' adventures. They tend to be bad, an antagonist for your young heroes to band together against. They tend to reflect the many ways adults in the real world are terrible to children, from the banal to the monstrous. They tend to be, in other words, The Worst.
Here, we set aside those adults in favor of the best. The ones who serve as helpful mentors, who give insightful advice or desperately needed aid, who are just plain fun to watch or to imagine yourself around.
This tournament is inspired by @best-childhood-book and @character-of-all-time. (Feel free to mention other relevant brackets in the notes!)

When I was a kid in the 80s I had a book about some ragdoll sisters who lived in a cottage in the woods and one had a strawberry garden. I really can't remember much more than that, does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

""THIS IS MY GIFT TO YOU. ITS LEAVES ARE MORE PRECIOUS THAN GREEN PLUMES...""
PIC INFO: Spotlight on the feathered serpent god of Mesoamerican culture, Quetzalcoatl, from Eric Carle's "Dragons, Dragons, and Other Creatures that Never Were" (1988), illustrated by the late, great Eric Carle (1929-2021).
"In the world's young days, Farmer met Quetzalcoatl in a field by one rustling plant. Like the wind, he whispered in Farmer's ear, "This is my gift to you. Its leaves are more precious than green plumes, its heart richer than jade." Farmer asked, "what is its name?" And the serpent whispered, "Maize.""

Look, all I'm saying is that if I wasn't supposed to grow up goth/goth-appreciating, then WHY did my parents let me read Stellaluna and watch the animated movie when I was a tiny child, huh? Answer that one for me!
