Books I hated as a child, a thread:
Clifford the Big Red Dog—he’s big! And he’s red! No, see, he’s like really, really REALLY big—HAHAHAHAHAHAAA.

I still cannot BELIEVE my mother gave me “The Yearling” for Christmas, did she just want to ruin my entire year
I started this thread because every time I saw a tweet about the Clifford movie it made my teeth clench and I wanted to get the tension out of my system, but now I’m just filled with rage at every kid’s book that ever disappointed me so it may have been counterproductive.
