I'm gonna say it. This is a dumb comment

X2 on yours.

What would you consider "stupid stuff" to read?

A lot of what they read is just "busy-work," silliness, mindless entertainment. Okay. Captain Underpants for one. That whole genre. So it's fun, teaches them reading is fun, I get that. Couldn't Capt Underpants visit a farm or a zoo, where, incidentally, he learns the difference between a cow and a cat, a rooster and a hen? Or is that too biological at that age? No more biological than a lot of what they're learning. And it's past my beftime and I don't want to get throat-punched, so good night everybody. Sleep well.

Boxcar Children was fairly educational but even then every time I see chickens described in a novel I have a throat punch I need to give the author.

As someone who enjoyed captain underpants as a tween, I strongly disagree with that example

OK.

Sigh. Children

Captain Underpants introduced a whole generation of children to reading. Dr Suess is considered classics but those books don't teach life skills either
