kid from work got me to read the Magisterium series. I just started book two and I—this 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.

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!)

"IT GOBBLED FOURTEEN KIDS A YEAR, INCREDIBLY BULLHEADED."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on the Cretan Minotaur, an illustration from the children's book "Dragons, Dragons, and Other Creatures that Never Were" (1988), illustrated by the late, great Eric Carle (1929-2021).
"King Midas had a minotaur, That all the people dreaded, It gobbled fourteen kids a year, Incredibly bull-headed,
It dwelt inside a twisty maze, That no one could escape, Til Theseus, shouting loud "OLÉS!" Swung sword and swisher red cape."
-- X.J. KENNEDY (b. 1929)
Ah, the Minotaur, one of my earliest mythological fixations as a kid, and I just thought this was a pretty badass illustration to be included in a children's book at the time. I still believe this.

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?

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!

Okay this is a long shot but I'm trying to remember this thing...
In my middle school library back in like 2011-2013, there were two of a series of very simple chapter books that were like. Magic Tree House but for classic literature. Our main characters were a couple of kids who, through some magical contrivance I can't remember the details of, were able to enter into various classic books and sort of...walk along with the plots. They could talk to and interact with the characters (who were always remarkably willing to tell all their business to a couple of strange children) but couldn't do anything to change the story. If they ever tried to say anything to the effect of "This is a story, I know what's going to happen next, don't do X because it's dangerous", the characters would just act confused, as if they had started speaking vague nonsense. When the story was over they left the book and were back in their world.
I know the series included Romeo and Juliet and Dracula, and I remember they boy being shown in illustrations as blonde and the girl being shown as Japanese-American. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the series or the author.
By any chance, does anyone have the slightest idea what I'm talking about?

Loving reminder from your land history auntie:
North American golf courses have had 50-100 years of arsenic and mercury based fungicide and herbicides applied to their soils.
Do not eat anything that has been grown on a golf course or downstream from a golf course. I know it sounds cool and radical, but you are too valuable to poison yourself with heavy metals.
Protect each other, turn your local golf course into a pollinator garden, not a sex forest or community garden.

I’m sorry if I was in any version of the pjo universe I would’ve clocked that Percy was the son of Poseidon as soon as the bathroom incident occurred. Tf you mean “I wonder who your dad is” he EXPLODED A TOILET. Chiron this is the second water incident you have witnessed how are you still confused
