Concerning Life as It Is Supposed to Be

Old Books Bad for Children

I read this with sadness.

I want to attribute it to the law of unintended consequences. But I’m grieved to think about those consequences.

I intend to continue to expose my children and grandchildren to the hazards of the old books.

    I wonder if there is a detectable shift in the balance of philosophical content of children's books between the pre and post 1985 date. How could this shift the thinking of children, not just in their imaginations?

    The CPSIA makes me livid. It is stupid on so many counts.

    Nooooo!!! The books I loved so much as a little kid aren't going to be available when I have kids. It sounds weird, but I buy books I liked when I was a kid NOW, so that I'll have them at some point in the future…
