Karen Katz is an Idiot

I don't know what qualifies you to write a children's book.  It isn't like you have to have a way with words.  You have to be able to rhyme things like blue and glue.  You have to have basic spelling skills to be able write pages like "Now we can paint the wood.  Where is my paintbrush?"

However, basic carpentry is not a required skill.  The idiom of "Measure Twice, Cut Once" doesn't apply in the world of children's books.  In the world of children's books the idiom is "Cut first, measure second."

 Page Two

Do you know how difficult it is to explain to an infant that we start the book on page 2 because the author is an idiot?  Every time Laura or myself pick up this book, we cannot believe that someone would publish something like this.  If you need any reason why China is going to out-engineer the US, look no further than the works of Karen Katz.


Here are two pictures of Avery enjoying a book not written by an idiot.
