Don't know what happened to Little Golden Books but they produce so much pop culture books for kids now. Were they always like this?

"nerdy" adult media related children's books are probably made for the same reason as those sociopolitical children's books
they're 90% for people who don't have kids to try and push into preschools and onto their kid having friends, and those who actually do read it to their kids do it purely to self wank

i think what's creepy about this is that teaching children about historical or current figures, in politics, science, whatever... is nothing new nor strange, there have always been books about people like Einstein or Galileo for kids at their own level. but these people aren't massive figures in their fields beyond the scope or very, and i mean VERY current political climate, nor are they much interesting individuals in their own right
they're purely hailed for what they represent, rather than who they are

Kids don't actually read any of this shit. These are written for adults who want to virtue signal by having these books seen in their house. My kids bring home books about dinosaurs and sharks and Minecraft and Pokemon shit from the library.

I can't speak for every school, but my kids are generally free to pick their own baggie and library books, and are not forced to read any particular storybooks unless it's one the teacher reads to the whole class.

Are you saying your kids' teachers forced them to read these books or similar?

ask yourself in earnest: why ELSE is this stuff made? the people writing or buying this don't have kids and they don't write it for themselves, this is, from the very conception, made to be pushed into schools

There are plenty of Liberal idiots with kids who would buy those books. Plus, there are lots cool wine aunts who could give it to their niece or nephew for Christmas, and single adults who would buy such a book just for the novelty of it as a bit of a virtue signal.

At the age where kids are going to be reading Little Golden Books there is generally not a single book uniformly assigned to every student in class due to the vast difference in the development of reading ability at that age. Each class usually has a collection of baggie books categorized by reading levels and the kids are free to choose from them. Single books assigned to the entire class usually comes a bit later when kids are reading novels. Again, can't speak for every school, but that was my experience in school and my experience with my kids in school.

Plus, I'm not even arguing a school wouldn't buy these books to put in the library. I'm just saying if they are there, kids don't seem to bring them home.

Doesn't matter if its read or not, as long as it gets bought.

I don't doubt kids would rather read anything else, but adults will find a way to force it to them. Take a look at the Amazon reviews, while some bought it for themselves, others bought them for their kids/grandkids/nephews/friends' kids etc. One says: "I had to buy three copies of the RG Golden Book for all my little readers at my little free library. They loved it."

At least the Fauci one has a good number of redpilled reviews.

And speaking of libraries, it seems to me that lots of women librarians are libtards, I'm sure they keep these books front and center and near the best toys.

They also weren't published under the "Little Golden Books" label. I don't remember any of that shit when I was a kid in the 90s. I don't remember anyone younger than me ever having anything like that either in the 00s or early 10s. The politicization of childhood picture books is absolutely creepy, and it's even creepier that it isn't just some nutty cat lady self-publishing or getting published on some leftist imprint but is 100% mainstream.

I remember first seeing these with "My Mama Voted for Obama" and thinking it was the dumbest thing ever and so cringe that nobody else would bother.

Now there's shit like "Antiracist Baby" and "How Li'l Fauci became ~America's Doctor~" and it just never stopped.
 
We could probably make a thread on these stupid so-called children's books.... There are lots of conservative grifters who put out the same thing. What kind of weirdo is going to want to read a Steven Crowder children's book let alone a Anthony fauci book.

i was particularly interested in reading the kamalamarama ding dong one, but couldn't find an archive online
i suppose too few people actually buy this stuff for it to be dumped somewhere
if someone has em, for any of these books, please post them ITT


on a tangentially related note, when did "I AM SPEAKING" become this 'powerful' commonly used statement that people adopted, all it does is evoke the image of someone disruptive and self important shouting over others, usually with nothing of worth to say

Most of these books end up in the trash or outlet stores like Ollie's where products no one wants goes to die. I see these kinds of books there all the time. Super liberal books don't actually sell, I believe the Elliot Page (Ellen? It's been so long) trans book only sold 65,000ish copies and they gave her a 3 million advance. I'm sure the kids books sell a tiny bit more just for virtue signalling by social media moms and emotionally immature adults who don't want to read a real biography/want it as a background prop, but they honestly bomb pretty hard.

Also the most I've seen in public schools (I have experience with them in urban and rural communities) is stuff for black history month. A lot of schools don't even have the books themselves, they just play a youtube video of someone else reading it because it isn't worth using school funds to get them physically.
