Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 29, 2018

You would have thought that they would have checked to see what Lio was going to read BEFORE he started!

Pffft… Librarians I’d read that!

Lio’s book must be one of the banned books from that library.

Just start your own monster book club, Lio.

Philistines!

They should have had him read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”…as long as he doesn’t make the kids the leaves.

Just read the original Grimms fairy tales….

Booger brain boy.

are you kidding? There are plenty of kids who’d love those kinds of stories.

My German Uncle sent me a copy of “Struvvelpeter” when I was four. Haven’t quite stopped laughing yet…60+ years later.

Actually, that’s a good horror story.

Lio discussing proper website design.

Reminiscent of “The Storyteller” by HH Munro (Saki)

I’ve come to realize that at that age it’s more important that they read, that what they’re actually reading.

All Hail Shelob!

Approved reading only.

After all, Sam and Frodo DID end up right in Shelob’s parlor……

Reminds me of Morticia reading to the little kids in Addams Family. “Now boys and girls, what do you think THAT feels like???”

No sex, no nudity, no extreme politics, just, what went wrong?

I remember the first time I read the great literary classic, “Shelob’s Web”.

Hey, I bet the kids loved it (once they got over their fright). Fuddy-duddy librarians!

Yep, that’d be my worst nightmare come true

Librarian is no fun. What is wrong with Lio reading that book? Many kids might enjoy it.

Wait, how is a silent character reading?
