This is NOT for children - and unless you like very dark humor ("B is for Baby....Mommy loves the baby more than she loves you"), skip this one.

I found this awesome and disturbing, and immediately ordered copies for myself and for my younger brother, who also enjoys truly messed-up jokes.

Recommended for adults who like their humor sick and wrong! ( )

Negative Stars! I realize this book is for adults only. I am sure there is a market out there for this type of humor but it is definitely not up my alley. I do not find it funny or amusing in any way. I was shocked that the author of one my favorite childhood books, "The Giving Tree", could have written such a disturbing book. On a side note, I gave the book to my Dad who thought it was great and that I should read parts of it to my 5 year old daughter to teach her that not everything in life is as it seems at first. I could see where perhaps a few of the pages might work out that way but for the most part I would like to stay far away from the book.
