“Nobody ever ended up in an emergency room from doing too much Mark Twain” 🤣

Gods, I love old library posters! ❤️

#LibrariesRock #Booksky #Books #Reading #LibraryPosters

Old library poster featuring a stack of books and text that reads: Get your kids addicted to something that costs just 35c an ounce. Experts agree, that if you get your kids hooked on something interesting, chances are they won’t need drugs. So push books on your kids. Books can become a very healthy, lifetime addiction. They can help kids learn to think. They’re fun. What’s more, at 35c an ounce, they produce a very economical high. And best of all, nobody ever ended up in an emergency room from doing too much Mark Twain. It’s about time parents became the pushers.

Yeah ok, maybe I’ll pass 🤢

Ok but, “terrible, twisted, toxic thing” is a sick band name 😅 She certainly has a way with words. Also, I wasn’t planning on reading this but now I am curious 🧐

Jim Henson’s The Storyteller did an episode on this. It was called Sapsorrow, said to be based on an early German folktale.

Tired
BY LANGSTON HUGHES

I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two -
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

I am absolutely flabbergasted - sorry kids, you won’t be able to look up that word…the dictionary is unavailable; we need to check what words we will allow to be defined 🤯
