Please stop. It's a bad poem.
>"poem"
You have really shitty taste and have an ENORMOUS stick up your ass if you can't appreciate The Tiger as at least a good poem for a 6 year old, which it objectively is.
Seriously, you're a higher order faggot if you hate The Tiger
its also the only full piece of literature theyve read
>he doesn't want to admit it's a children's book
Grow up. It's a simple, easy to understand novel with the most obvious moral lesson. It's for kids.
Series of Unfortunate Events

"For a child’s book it does all right. It’s interesting that all the folks that are buying it don’t know they’re reading a child’s book. Somebody ought to say what it is.” - Flannery O'Connor

Did anybody else read the Among the Hidden series? I loved them in middle school and I've been thinking about reading them again
Enid Blyton

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and its sequel Through the Looking Glass.
I finished the first one, which I really enjoyed, and got part-way through the second one before stopping due to lack of time. But both are quite interesting tales, and seem to have originated many of the tropes found in modern storytelling. Hayao Miyazaki's work, for example, is heavily influenced by the world Carroll created.
I'm a Veeky Forumspleb though, who only recently got back into reading, so more experienced readers here may have different opinions on these books.
what are they about?
Mellick is such a talentless hack
Hans Christian Andersen wrote incredible fairytales. For example The Little Mermaid teaches a very valuable lesson every kid should internalize when growing up: no matter how much effort you put into something, it doesn't mean that you can get what you want in the end. Reference: youtube.com
Just read through his Wikipedia and you'll get a pretty good idea what he had written and published.
write a better one then
Honestly, fiction is overrated when it comes to kids. When I was a boy the most interesting things I've read were books about travellers and explorers, also compilations of different mythologies (Pacific islanders have some fucked up myths btw).
I liked His Dark Materials
oh man
This brought me back.
>the part about how all the dragons are gone
fuck
