This has got to be the most inappropriate picture book of all time. And probably not the best book to give to a six-year-old.Â
But one grandma didn’t get the memo that not all picture books are meant for kids when she gave her granddaughter, Emmersyn this gem of a gift.
Presenting If Animals Could Talk a.k.a a book definitely NOT for children!
Based on the cover alone, it seems like an innocent enough picture book, suited for children, especially children who love talking animals. I mean, what child wouldn’t want to read a book about talking animals?
But then you open the book. And, turns out, these talking animals are potty-mouthed, vagina-bashing, drug addicts. No jokes.
Whoopsie!
Thanks Nana!
Mum Tiffany shared the hilarious #nanafail on her Twitter page, complete with a few illustrations of the characters in the If Animals Could Talk book.
“I’m dying,” Tiffany wrote on Twitter. “My mom bought this book for my 6 year old and I just called to ask if she had actually opened the book. She hadn’t.”
Of course, the Twitter world is going bonkers over If Animals Could Talk and loving the nana with a preference for naughty picture books! And who can blame them?
X-rated animal encounters
While some of the animals’ thoughts – like Pizza Dog up there – are rated PG, others are certainly not! Take the key-losing Kangaroo. Or the wiener dog with an issue with vaginas. But my favourite naughty animal has got to be the coke-snorting polar bear.
The best part? Imagining six-year-old Emmersyn trying to sound out this tricky sentence:Â “Alright let’s tear the roof off this mutha fucka”.
See grandparents… this is why you always, always OPEN the book before you buy it.
