Really Shel?







This weekend while reading this classic childhood favorite to my 15 month old nephew, I realized why he seems uneasy everytime I choose The Giving Tree as his naptime story. This dude's headshot (which takes up the entire back cover of the book mind you) resembles a GODDAMN CONVICT. Couldn't Shel Silverstein have chosen a more child friendly photo to invite his toddler audience? Mugshots of serial killer pedophiles don't really mesh well with preschoolers. If this was a hoax on all us adult readers, then hats off to you Shel, ya got me! Fantastic.
