Whoopi's Big Book of Manners
Yes, THAT Whoopi ....
by sean_mack
Pros: It teaches children about manners, and is funny. 'Nuff said.
Cons: I'd be showing bad manners by even suggesting such a thing.
When I think of classic children's books, I usually think of the ones I grew up with and loved, such as Dr. Seuss' 'Green Eggs and Ham' or the Caldecott Medal winner 'The Snowy Day' by Ezra Jack Keats. But now, almost astonishingly, I must add ...

Pros: Nicely done speculation on King Henry's mistress and future wife
