I always thought this book was pretty much universally known. Ask anybody here, and they'll know about it.

Like The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

OH GOD, PLEASE TELL ME YOU KNOW ABOUT THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR.
I don't.

That one's pretty famous around here. So I suppose they also know it in France.

Edit:
Or not. Ninja'd.

It made a cricket noise at the last page, I think.

Actually, that was in one of the author's other books, The Very Quiet Cricket.

But I remember that too.

Let's do this backwards, Unbalanced. Do you know about Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry? Because everybody knows that one in Western Europe.
So if John Craft doesn't know that one either, he's just not educated if it comes to good children's books.

Oh, and since we're already talking about The Very Hungry Catterpillar, I might aswell link this. You probably know about it already.

I was just on the wikipedia page, so I've already seen the picture. No, I don't.

Then I guess I just know too much about children's books.
Well, read it if you can get your hands on it, it's nice.

Well I know Le petit prince.
Unbalanced, YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING if you haven't read this book. It's not the greatest book for the children for it's one of the greatest books EVA.
Actually, it's French, so of course it's a gook bood.

WILD THINGS?
THE HUNGRY CATERPILLAR?

Nostalgia is almost impossible to feel at twelve.
