My school library pulled these books from the shelves because every time it was "library time" kids would always rush to pick these books first, and they said "all you do is look at the pictures" which is bad apparently.
Fuck that reasoning. That's what got me into the insects those creepy looking ones. How else are you supposed to describe a praying mantis, like it's 1350 and carved into stone?
Whoever made that decision deserves a punch in the face and should be demoted from adulthood, back to school.
I bet you kids rotted your brains with that awful Bill Nye as well.
My school library had a bunch of Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes comics and some of those how to draw marvel style books and Shel Silverstein poetry books with pictures that got me interested in reading everything else
