Post kino children's books. Why do you like them? What would you read with your kids/nephews/etc.

Forgot to say why I like it:
When I was a child I liked it because of the nice illustrations but now I think it’s representative of man (and in this case cat) striving against the harsh forces of the universe to succeed and enable him and his own to survive and thrive in the face of nature’s danger. It’s also just very very comfy.
My favourite book as a child was the wind in the willows but there’s a lot to explore there so I’ll leave it for another anon, I will say that “the piper at the gates of dawn” is better written than most literature

Pure kino, a foundational book of my childhood. Still feel something when I flick through the illustrations

Pic related was a decent thread on the topic.

Some of the underlying messages of these comics makes it feel like they were created for adults and also appeals to kids

This seems a little too popular, a little too recently. Reassure me it's good.

I still can't believe they opted to include the prima nocta shit in there

If I ever had a child, my biggest fear is that they would be like me.

Most children books, especially contemporary ones are full of propaganda aimed at children (obviously). No way I'm going to give a children the rainbow fish book. Mutiliate yourself, don't be rich, being beautiful is a sin and and if you give (almost) everything you have away you will have lots of friends and be happy. What a crap. I loved the illustrations of the rainbow fish but I didn't like the story and as an adult I realised why.
I would read/give them adventure books from Jack London, Astrid Lindgren, etc.

Did they? I only had the last book as a kid.
Looks like they even kept Shamhat fucking civilization into Enkidu (at least to some degree)!
