Vanilla Butterflies » Weird Picture Book Titles

Have you ever watched TV programmes made for babies? In general they're so weird you just have to wonder what the writer was taking when they came up with it. Well, it seems it's no different for picture books. Following extensive research, I present to you the very strangest picture book titles I could find.

Each one is linked to the book's page on Amazon, to prove its authenticity. Also each cover is displayed as a 96x96 icon which you could use on MSN, if you so wish. (This being the original reason for my "research". And by "research" I mainly mean sifting through the 2000 highest selling picture books on Amazon.)

He's actually the sulky vulture.
 
Yes, not drowning might be a good idea.
 
It comes with a free "success chart".
 

...had a fight?
 
You're standing on him!
 
Whereas other people draw them.
 
Sounds like a pretty nasty disease.
