We've got all of your favorites, Lassie,the Spot books, Yogi Bear, The Three Bears....you get my point. The only problem is that when I read them to Nathan, the classic story lines disappear and I insert my own endings.
For example, did you know that at the end of The Three Bears, Baby Bear devours Goldilocks in a scene reminiscent of a Freddy the Kruger movie. In my version, Lassie falls down the well and his skeletal remains are found years later. In the Poky Little Puppy, the puppy constantly digs under a fence and escapes. In my version, the owner quickly tires of this, trains the Poky Little Puppy to fight, and sells him to Michael Vick.
I hope this doesn't stunt my child's growth.
****Want me to 'update' your favorite children's book, let me know. I'd be glad to do it.******

This is great, Shawn, Stephen King books for babies! Nathan looks frightened in the photo, "Mommy, get me out of here, redrum, redrum..." :)
