“Parents will be FREAKING OUT with this kind of CHILDREN'S BOOK”

I had an ample time to surf around the internet and stumbled upon this video on YouTube. I thought it was a good book for kiddos and when I watched the video. Well, it is quite disturbing. The book's title is also striking: “Do you want to play with my balls?” If I am not a malicious minded person, then it would be fine. However, the wordings are quite alarming for kids to know. Don’t get me wrong, guys! I am not playing a saint here. “What do you think about this book?” “Do you agree that all children books are educational?” Image Credit: bumbumbooks.com

It was really a strange book. There is another book shared by "Go the F**k to Sleep." Image Credit: d3fa68hw0m2vcc.cloudfront.net

Haha that's so hilarious. I guess the children won't understand the green meaning of it but the adults I'm sure they're going think it's not appropriate.

I am sure if this book released in our country. The advocates against such book will have a protest.

@Shavkat Yeah that's for sure it's gonna be a big issue here. The conservative people will file a complaint.

That isn't a very good title for a children's book. Something like Let's Play Ball might be better.

@Shavkat I agree. I will be happy when I have the time to publish my little books. Like "Where Did Incests Get There Colors". Down to earth books.

@ridingbet I have the same thinking. These authors should be considerate in writing things like this. Some people claimed that it was created for adults. As for me, I don't think it is funny material be exclusive to adults. @jhin4thewin1234 I do think that some kids are quite advance and smart. However, we still need to guide them. I had noticed that you are from Baguio. Are you?

@Shavkat if the book is for adults only, then there should be a reminder in big bold letters that children should not read these materials. besides, the illustrations should not be kids, but adults.

I never know that it was posted. But I do think it is better to re-post it. Since it is quite alarming for the children.

that's just it..it's really not a children's book.it's for adults to laugh at. that's like people taking kids to "sausage party" and then freaking out about the content.

It would be a riot if adults had this book. Moreover, I hope that kiddies would not hold a copy of it. lol If it does, it will be a talk of the town.

This is really not a childrens book at all and the video I felt the same as you also. Not for children neither the book or the video. What will they think of next?

@Shavkat Children are not silly and they pick up things very quickly. Books like that are not for small children or older children.

I saw this on facebook and thought how inappropriate it was for children although young children wouldn't have a clue what it was really saying. It's amusing for adults though

I do agree. An innocent child will not know a double meaning yet. I am sure adults would laugh about it.

Thanks for the link. If it is really intended for adults, then we should be guiding the kids not to see them offline and online.

We have enter a new time, we as parents have to learn not all cartoons are for kids, I learned that one the hard way. Also I guess not all books that even seem like they are for kids, are really for kids. We have to look into most everything our kids do now days. I guess the lesson of the day may be......trust nobody, when it comes to your kids.

I do agree with you. I also teach online with kids. There are so many ways to capture and educating them. I do have that parents out there should know what's best for their kids and be vigilant at all times.

I have seen and heard of this book. I do find the title funny, and I think adults have way more fun with this than a kid would with the same connotation. I DO think that geared towards kids, the title could use some tweaking.

Personally speaking, I think it is fun for adults to enjoy it. However, the adults should take the responsibility of keeping away this copy from their children.
