I looked it up, and honestly what the fuck did I just read?

>>20111822
Thanks man
>>20111947
Yeah, it's a pretty strange read. But with reviews like this, how could I pass it up?

>>20111791
Plato Symposium. It will give him trad morals and classical masculinity.

Peter Rabbit. When he's a little older, Where's Waldo. Anything written before 2000 is probably okay, but the real classics are like Goodnight Moon or Where the Wild Things Are.

Buy him Strega Nona

Big Pumpkin

Beverly Cleary died one year ago tomorrow :(

I watched some pretentious movie from the 80s where the leftist faggot protagonist monologued for ten minutes about the fascistic undertones of this story book. Sounded like a good endorsement, though I never read it myself

When he starts reading on his own, he'll need some calvin and hobbes.

"I like the thing cause it makes people mad!!!!"

Anything with classical values or too many white people gets labeled fascist, so yes, that label tends to be an endorsement as far as I'm concerned.

Dear god, two retards in one thread on a half dead board? This is too much.

>>20112197
why

>>20112210

Classical western values are time tested and proven to create strong and healthy societies. Nu-age values seem to be self destructive. The USA rose to power with classical values, and now it's losing its grip on the world with nu-age values.

>>20112214
>classical values
what like inbred monarchies or greek pedophilies or slavery?
>strong and healthy societies
if they were strong why are they in decline

>>20112236

It's never too early to educate your children about suspicious fungi.

Fifteen books to go from zero to age about fifteen. I keep meaning to add to these.

>>20111791
Excuse me, was this book really written by "Innocent Nigga" aka "Dindu Nothin"?
This author has to be a troll
Anyways, give your child a copy of Little Black Sambo. If people complain that it's racist towards black people, you can say they're the real racists because Sambo is Indian.

Swiss Family Robinson

A family becomes shipwrecked on a deserted island and rather than bemoaning their estrangement from society and the calamity they instead rouse each other to good spirits and act decisively. The book depicts them as buoyant, optimistic, decisive, pragmatic and industrious as they make difficult decisions and build a home for themselves rather than simply hoping someone will rescue them. Whenever they're faced with a problem they set about designing a solution. These solutions are at times simple but at other times elaborate and intricately designed and described. It represents also a spirit of boyish adventure.

Foster learned helpfulness. When he encounters an issue his first reaction should be to examine it and try to resolve it rather than to appeal for help. Encourage him also to make decisions on his own regarding day to day things. Watch him fail and task him with figuring out why it didn't work. Then keep encouraging decisions. It's decisiveness, thoughtfulness and independence that make up successful men who accomplish meaningful things. If you raise him to value and practice these then he will be a success no matter what path he takes.

Series of Unfortunate Events. Teaches your kid higher literacy and that you can your life into your own hands when all the authority figures around you constantly fail you.

Give him Roald Dahl when he's young, then Jules Verne when he's a bit older.

>the purpose of values is to create a stable society

This seems ass-backwards to me. The point of having strength/stability is so you can decide for yourself what's important.

I would unironically recommend you start reading him serious fiction straight away. Think of it as comparable to playing Mozart when he sleeps.
That said, my favorite book growing up was The Wild Toboggan Ride! https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Toboggan-Ride-Suzan-Reid/dp/0590222716
