    Thanks. Although I don't think Pratchett and Gaiman count as kid's lit, nor do Grimm & Andersen (which btw kids in my generation read in versions that edited out poverty & similar background matters. It wasn't until I was an adult that I found out why Hansel & Gretel were lost)

    Just take the L and delete the tweet. Or don't. LMAO

      Literally implying that children are inherently simpletons, and cannot enjoy any literature that's not dumbed-down rated-G stories about going to school or having tea parties with friends.

      Cool, How about Roald Dahl, who has like half his protagonists so poor an orange is a celebration.

        The first two books might as well have been cribbed straight from Dahl. Even the art cribs from his style.
