Looking for simple books that I can find the German translation of. I have Harry Potter, but between all the made up words and, well, I'd rather read something else.

I also have The Little Prince, but its honestly still a bit above my reading level, but don't worry about that. I'll come back to this thread for a while, I'm sure, as my reading level gets up to young adult, again.

Let's revisit our favorite childhood books, together!

    Oh god what's wrong with Dr Seuss? I thought he was pretty decent politically for a lib, spoke out against the HUAAC and everything.

    There's some outdated racist tropes in his books, but generally the message is anti racist, if clumsy and white-centric.

    What did he do?

      he cheated on his dying wife and didn't make any effort to hide it, and his wife ended up committing suicide because of it, this on top of him making a bunch of racist ass cartoons and ads and stuff, and he's pretty much a dick.
