WTF?! We Can't Believe These Children's Books Exist

Updated on Nov 3, 2014 at 5:44 PM

There are plenty of children's books that we want — and are often forced — to read over and over again. And then there are some that should be left off our tots' shelves. Be it a weird sense of humor or a good idea gone awry, there are certain titles in the kids' section that make young readers (and some adults) scratch their head. From the dreadful to the disturbing, check out some children's books that made us say WTF.

Who Cares About Disabled People?

We're sure this book has a great message, but the title comes off as a little insulting.

Standing Up

We're all for books that help kids with potty training, but the artwork in this one is questionable.

The Gashlycrumb Tinies

Want to give your child nightmares while they learn the ABCs? This "dark masterpiece" uses death, illness, and crime to teach kids their letters.

All My Friends Are Dead

We know parents need help explaining death, but we shouldn't bring their children's friends into it.

Joined at Birth

We never knew that conjoined twins were so common that they needed their own novel.

Mommy, Why Is There a Server in the House?

Considering kids are more tech savvy that most adults, do they really need a book to explain it?

I'd Really Like to Eat a Child

This book gives the phrase "I could eat you up" a whole new meaning.

Where Willy Went

Kids need to learn about the birds and the bees, but does it have to be done in such a graphic way?

Cooking With Pooh

OK, maybe we're being a bit immature here, but who wants to whip up a meal with fecal matter?
