It's a hard road finding the perfect kids' book collection lad. Bet it's worse now in this era of superwokeness.

For me there are three categories of reading aloud book.

1. Holy shit this kids' book is propaganda/activism/reallyfuckingracist, giving up on it right now, I don't care how many pages in we are.

2. Hmmm, the language is a bit rough but I can tweak the words on the fly as I read out loud or just omit this or that sentence entirely without destroying the text.

3. This book is fucking ace and if it's one I remember from my own childhood it's even more ace now.
