books about "issues"

May 16, 2008 19:27

So, this morning Sam and I had a small interaction which made me realize it was time to go purchase It's So Amazing for our bookshelf.

And, at the bookstore by my office, I wandered in, found the kid's section, and started trying to sort out where they would keep it. First I looked in the "Science & Nature" section, but didn't see any obvious topic groupings. Sorta went straight from animals to machines. Then I looked briefly over in picture books, but that was serious Dr. Seuss territory. So, then I just scanned the "subject headings" over the different shelves. When I saw "Issues", I knew I had found my area.

Yep, there among all the variants on Everybody Poops, I found the illustrated versions of Our Bodies, Ourselves.

And one book titled Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry, which I picked up (i.e. looked at, but didn't purchase), cuz, well, sometimes I get angry. Turned out to be about having a bipolar mom, which, as it turns out, is not one of my issues, thankfully.

Anyway, yeah. "Issues". *sigh*
