| Great blog post, totally agree with it... except, "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go" condescending? If you think Richard Scarry is trying to keep kids engaged with "the false novelty of a carrot car" (!!!) you do NOT understand the appeal of that book to kids, despite the claim to the contrary. |

| If I had more time I'd make myself a bananamobile. Sure it would only be useful for driving in the city parade, but I WANT one. (anyone want to fund my mid-life crisis? You get to see a bananamobile out of the deal) |

| ▲ | quickthrowman 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | A yellow vinyl wrap plus fabricating a couple of cones for the ends of the wiener to morph it into a banana sounds a heck of a lot cheaper than fabricating a fiberglass banana shell from scratch, I think you’re onto something here! I’ll start the GoFundMe and work on procuring a lightly used wiener mobile, GP will be cruising in a banana mobile by next summer :) |

| Kids, shit. I'm 42 and any time I run across a copy, I re-read it just for the sheer pleasure of seeing what all's happening on every page! |
