i read so many of these at my daycare

the one i remember clearly is the one where a spider lived inside this girl’s face, but she thought it was a pimple, and one day it bursted open and millions of little baby spiders came crawling out

that image in my head remains there forever

    Oh shit, I remember these books! The art really freaked me out. The new illustrations are dumb, too cartoonish.

    They CHANGED the illustrations? I’m even more glad of the copies I have then… these new ones are so disappointing :(
