Kids books for brothers

My son is 9. My twin daughters are 3. My son doesn't appreciate his sisters, and doesn't seem to be protective of them.

I need Veeky Forums to recommend some books for me to give him. He's at least on par for reading ability in his age range.

Requirements for the book:
>designed for age 9ish
>about a brother protecting his sister against all odds.
>no protected minority groups (the poor sister realizes she's a trans black immigrant genderfluid non bianary proto fallopian malnormative from another star system... etc.)

The only book I can think of is a wrinkle in time, but that's kind of more big sisterish.

Anyway, thanks in advance.

OP again. No degeneracy at all, actually. No smoking, communism, sex, drugs, etc. The kid is 9.

Grave of the fireflies

Hmm. Your specific parameters are somewhat difficult.

My go-to recommendation for kids' books is The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book. Your son might draw some inspiration from Mowgli's stories, and Mowgli's relationship with his wolf brothers and sisters might inspire a sense of camaraderie between your son and his sisters.

Beyond that, you might try Brian Jacques' Redwall books. They're all about different things, and there's some brother-sister dynamic in a few of them.

die spoonfeednorms

why not just read them the bible and art of the deal that sounds like your sort of thing

Write your own where they both die and the little boy could have saved them by just being a good brother. Just fuck with his head until he develops some kind of complex.

Heavy, but yeah, I might give it to him.

A good idea. Thanks!

Don't be pretentious. You're on Veeky Forums.

Those books are getting all worn out in my house, thank you very much!

I know Veeky Forums is, it's Veeky Forums, but could you guys try to be a little helpful.... just this once?

Just give him a hard smack on the ass and have his twin sisters jerk him off while he reads through a Playboy magazine. I don't know if this will achieve your desired effect, but it should do something for the boy.

I mean... good try, but not edgy enough to rustle my jimmies. I've been browsing /pol/ for... I don't know how long.

Come on guys. Either recommend books that I ask for, or don't.

Captain Underpants is patrician kid lit.

that'll teach him love for his friends and not his sister

Siblings tend to hate each other. So long as he isn't torturing them let it be. Read him some famous five.

A series of unfortunate events?

Leave your son in charge of babysitting them one day and then dress up like a burglar, break into your own house, and abduct your daughters for a couple hours. First hand trauma will be much more effective than any book.

Dog that's not something that reading will take care of. He has to see the paternal instinct coming from you. At that age boys are mirrors of their fathers.

Try "My Dad is a Racist Manchild" by Beverley Cleary. It'll show the youngster how to look out for his siblings when his father is too busy typing "ebin" antisemitic comments and guffawing at Pepe memes with teenagers.

best advice so far. You should listen to this, OP.

This, also at that age you can't expect him to be protective of his siblings, it'll probably develop over time

>being this triggered by the mere mention of /pol/

who are you quoting

I think 120 days of Sodom is a great title for a developing mind. I'm a highschool teacher and always handle it to my students and it has a great reception every time.

user... easy on the child abuse

Bullshit. I have 8 siblings and i love them all.

Do yourself a favor and read them shakespere. Henry V and all that. my mother did it for me and my siblings growing up and it did wonders for us. trust me!

Chronicles of Narnia. Push him a little past his reading level and quiz him on it, it sounds bad, but he will grow up reading more and more advanced books.

Fuckin this. Kipling is not only a genius, The Jungle Book is all about friendship and working together against the world. Also check out his Just So Stories.

The kid already has a complex, user. Read OP again you dummy.

>designed for age 9ish
>about a brother protecting his sister against all odds.

You are describing the original Star Wars trilogy. Or The Blue Lagoon. I would recommend Treasure Island, but that's a sausage fest. To be honest OP boys at age 9 are shits. He'll grow out of it, just keep teaching him daily about his responsibilities as an older brother. A book isn't going to cut it. For all the noise about raising girls right, boys seem to get ignored. As if they'll sort themselves out properly in the public school jungle.

Also what do you mean protective? As in responsibly watching over them? He's 9. I hope you're not leaving your girls alone to be supervised by a 9 year old you faggot.

For fuck's sake user. Give him the Underland Chronicles.

>Dude's baby sister falls through an air vent in his basement, and when he goes in after her he ends up in a subterranean world inhabited by gigantic intelligent vermin and albino humans who, alongside the bats are fighting a losing renaissance war against the rats

I remember it fondly and I think he'll like it. Just a heads up it's a bit violent, but it's modern and significantly more engaging and accessible than anything else that's been suggested here

Are you the overbearing tiger mom aspie who just made this other thread?
Do you really have two threads up at once for this?

>no protected minority groups
are you really that triggered about non-whites being in books
mong

Someone with actual life experience on Veeky Forums? Get out while your still can.

Chronicles of Narnia, boi

Yeah I do. I just wanted to augment with a few books, not expect them to do all the work.

Instilling my values in my kid is an issue, apparently. So much for tolerance for diversity.

Never heard of it. I'll look into it.

Not me.

I wouldn't have an issue with minorities in books if every single book didn't push ideas I disagreed with, like white guilt, intolerance for Christianity, pro abortion, sexual promiscuity, etc. Don't blame me that a book about straight white people will usually uphold values such as personal responsibility, honesty, selflessness, and kindness. And if you think I should fill my kids heads with your values cause you are right and I'm wrong, well you can just fuck right off.

The Hobbit

ITT post-boomer parent struggles to cope with the dysfunctionality of his family by forcing his child to engage in an archaic and obsolete practice instead of letting him play vidya and go on insta like a normal millennial

Sorry in advance for your rebellious, family hating son Pops

How about this: don't substitute parenting with literature. If you want your kid to appreciate his siblings how about you raise all of them to have personalities worth appreciating.

What's the deal with men opposed to this "degeneracy" always having no sense of self beyond their nu-male masculinity? It's the funniest thing because they're worried about the world "corrupting" their kids when in reality it's their father's lack of identity that will have the most lasting effects.

This was my first thought as well. Children are physical and emotional, not intellectual - though the myths of a good story will probably help.

Are you all doing group activities together? How about you play some little game (if possible for 3 year olds), and have the boy and the girls on a team versus you?

If the family doesn't live in a city, then he's only doing his children a favor. If you want to raise a kid who doesn't think for himself, then sure, let him be modern and identify only with a screen. If you actually care about them, you need to be engaged with them.

why, whenever there is a thread where the OP is asking for kids books, do we get this vocal salt minority -- are you jealous because you came to this hobby late? because your parents were watching 4 hr blocks of network television every night of your remembered childhood?

I think the average age of Veeky Forums must be 20 or so, and at that age there's still so many contrarian faggots who will argue against anything just because they are not comfortable with themselves yet and are lashing out.

What a godsend it is to have a parent who actually cares about you and takes an active role in a child's upbringing. I've volunteered in a "troubled kids" place for years, those who come from bad homes where the parent's don't care about them at all, and what a relief they experience when they find someone just willing to talk to them and that cares about them.

OP you do realize it's an inevitability that your daughters are gonna get BLACKED.

>still shitposting on Veeky Forums after having children
no, OP, it is you who are the degenerate

thank you for confirming my prejudices

if you use the catalog judiciously there's no better place than Veeky Forums to discuss exactly the type of stuff you're into
(other than academia, but the weak job prospects make that track post-grad-school post-kids a poor choice generally)

OP btfo?

Why would I be jealous of any part of the life of these kids? It's good that their father is taking an interest in their education and hoping to shape them into good people, but it's incredibly sad that one of his major concerns is "degeneracy" in their upbringing. I made no comments on the actual concept of literature - the only thing I mentioned is how sad it is that diversity is, in his mind, capable of "corrupting" his kids when in reality diversity is what will make them into better people.

This board wasn't perfect before pol, but you fucks really made it a lot worse.

You really, truly think that multiculturalism is a good concept, one that will create a strong civilization and united people, and that equality is a real thing, that evolution is a false concept and people are born as blank-slate individuals with no influence from the past? Seriously, can any thinking person actually believe that multicultural oligarchies are a good thing?

You should also realize that in the education system, the kids there are inundated with identity politics of how great nonwhites are and how whites are no good, always being the baddies of history. So it would make perfect sense that someone who didn't like such widespread child abuse would not want to confirm it in his own home.

>the only thing I mentioned is how sad it is that diversity is, in his mind, capable of "corrupting" his kids when in reality diversity is what will make them into better people

Don't you see how your own idea devours itself? Real diversity is segregation, and allowing a unique people and culture to blossom - and perhaps going to visit there from time-to-time to see if there is anything to be learned or appreciated. False diversity is mixing everyone together, creating some strange stew where there are no longer any common bonds, and even the end of genetic diversity if mass miscegenation occurs.

Your world is a dead-end. It destroys, destroys, and destroys, and offers no future.

Putting the fact that genetic diversity is the goal of evolution aside, if your strongest sense of identity is tied to your race or ethnicity, then you're a weak man. Do you think that there was no conflict - no class struggle - when Europe was nothing but white? Do you think that there was no pseudo-caste system in place? People will always discriminate based on anything they can.

Let your kids make their own decisions - you should be equipping them to shape their own identity, not shaping it for them.

The world isn't a game of Civ VI and countries aren't hermetic kingdoms acting as petri dishes of culture. You literally are falling into the same kind of identity politics that you think you oppose - you're no better than a black person with Afrocentric delusions of grandeur. All of your delusions of white excellence were built on the back of the Jew anyway.

Cat in the hat

You avoid the question. Do you think multicultural oligarchies will produce anything meaningful?

>class struggle

Obviously. What do you think National Socialism or Communism were a response to?

>If your strongest sense of identity is tied to your race or ethnicity, then you're a weak man

Of course, but only if that is the only thing you are holding onto and you are a lazy person yourself. Otherwise, I deem it to spit in the face of life itself if you disregard all the struggles that came before you as if they had no meaning. How disrespectful and arrogant. Past achievements should be a guiding post, a source of inspiration, and a seen as a long path that you can continue on and contribute to.

What do you think a country is? It is a place with a people that have a collective history, myths, shared genes, and a hope for a better future. Western countries are becoming less and less countries, and more and more "places of destination" without any real foundations.

This post makes no sense. You are not clearly addressing my point: that mixing things together destroys diversity. For instance, I have traveled to multiple Asian countries for many years. In India, it is distinctly Indian, distinctly unique to that people and country. In the US, in large swathes of it, it is no longer distinctly anything. It is a mixture of people grouped together who are all on smartphones all day.

>all of your delusions of white excellence were built on the back of the jew anyway.

Well, and there we go. No wonder you say the things you do.

Here's a recommendation for you: if you don't like such topics, go elsewhere in the catalog. It's a big place, and you can easily avoid it.

I have a suggestion for a comedy your son might like!

Your posts in this thread.

PS, while you debate with internet trolls he is in the other room hitting his sister in the head with a toy truck.

>-1 minutes of remaining quality time with your children available

Have you tried Google yet, old man?

I guess picking up on subtleties isn't your strong suit, so I'll try to spell it out more explicitly - in mentioning my bit about hermetic kingdoms you were supposed to recognize the fact that no country has an absolute and monolithic cultural tradition that does not in some way borrow from another. You seem to also forget to acknowledge that the dissolution of culture, not even just in the United States, but the world as a whole, is a result of your ideal system of cultural isolationism that "borrows" from other cultures while maintaining the majority, hence commodifying it. This loss isn't a result of intermingling - it's a result of late stage capitalism that embodies the principles you hold as ideal.

You are attempting to negate the entire dialectic and forgetting the historical context on which culture was built - ironic as you reference your "respect" for the struggles of the past. Ironically enough, your idea of how culture should be dealt with is erasing it. The idea of a multicultural oligarchy controlling culture is no more outlandish than the idea of any oligarchy controlling culture.

>In India, it is distinctly Indian, distinctly unique to that people and the country.
Best joke I've read on lit in a while.

I recognized that bit, but I thought it was so obvious to most people (that cultures have always influenced one another, that nothing is in a vacuum), and such a cliche of an argument in defense of multiculturalism that it wasn't really what you meant. There's quite a chasm between influences and then some new social experiment that's never really been done before by throwing incredibly diverse groups together in a very short time frame.

Capitalism is not about isolationism. What are you on about? Nor do I think capitalism as the founding principle of a nation is ideal, or any form of oligarchy ideal.

>about India

Yes, indeed, it is uniquely Indian. No where else will you find a place like that. It's gross that Americanism is influencing it so much and they hold the US as an ideal, but it's still its own place.

I have nothing for you. avoid Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan

I wrote a short book with some characteristics you described. Tell me if the idea is any good for children of your kid's age:

>Main character is a young woman that meets two kids: a 11yo boy and his 7yo little sister.
>11yo brother was a mentalist but he only had the shitty ability to transfer pain from others to him and not the other way around.
>Dad wanted to harness the power by sacrificing useless kid but mommy doesn't like that and she is kill.
>Kids fled from evil Dad and travels from Missouri to 1850 California in search for The flower garden her mom told them about in her last words.
>Young woman meets the two kids during a bank robbery and gives them food and shelter out of pity.
>Young woman sees little sister is very lively and naive. She loves her brother. On the other hand, the boy is apprehensive towards other than her sister and is mostly weak looking, but very smart.
>Evil robber escapes the police and gets to the Young woman's home.
>"ha ha ha, i was looking for you all along"
>Evil robber wasn't a robber but an egotistic mentalist hired by Dad to get the kid back.
>Young woman tries to hide the kids but gets beat up and mentally tortured.
>Good cop comes and shoots bad guy. Everything is fine now...
>Or is it.
>Evil mentalist had the power of changing bodies all along and he takes the body of good cop.
>Good cop is nearly kill.
>Brother comes to save the day and tries to get the pain from good cop, now in evil mentalist's body.
>Evil mentalist stabs himself in the stomach because he gone mad, or so everybody thought.
>He transfers his body back to the healed mentalist body, leaving good cop in his original body now wounded.
>Evil mentalist is recovered and about to give the final blow to Young woman
>The kid releases the pain transfer and the evil mentalist feels that pain now tenfold
>He dies and everyone is happy now

The book have more interactions of the brother and sister i didn't set in greentext like girl having an accident and breaking her arm. Boy uses the pain transfers even if its insupportable. Or little sister gets sick along the way to the town, so brother realizes that without medicine she might die, so he finds a way to worsen the disease until she experiments pain and eventually transfer that to him.

legend of zelda wind waker is good for that, but that's a game so....

i don't know

>Literature is the only medium that strengthens critical thought

Shame and fear are incredibly powerful motivators.

Op here. I came back to this cancerous mess of a thread, and I gotta say, im disappointed. It seems that at least half of this thread is telling me that I have to parent, and that this can't be fixed by just giving him books. Well, no shit. The books aren't my be all and end all of teaching. I just thought wouldn't it be nice for him to read some books along the same theme of my current parenting strategy.

You guys are idiots. I ask for book recommendations and you all extrapolate that I do nothing in parenting but give my kids books. For being Veeky Forums, you guys make lousy readers.

To those of you that offered helpful suggestions, thanks.

I wonder if you can force him into developing a sister complex with books alone
