Jen and Lisa over at Reads for Keeps did a forthright post a few weeks back on some of their pet peeves in children’s books. They followed that up by reaching out to some of us to give them our pet peeves. Mine are in this post and there are more here. Fun and illuminating to see what bugs different readers.
I’m a school librarian and it sets my teeth on edge that parents send their children to our library to find adult books. I find this especially annoying when the suggestion is inspired by a good children’s book. (i.e. “I loved My Father’s Dragon, so my Dad suggested I get The Life of Pi this week”)
Really????
