Acknowledgments
Dear Gentle Reader,
It feels like just yesterday that the authors of the very book you’re reading were playing tag at recess, and at their desks drawing precious little pictures in crayon. They were such smart, well-behaved little first-graders and I was so proud to be their teacher!
Then I heard that they’d made a wildly popular, critically acclaimed blog (dirtylibrary.tumblr.com), taking classic children’s books and turning them into dirty, twisted parodies, complete with new story-lines, original artwork, warped interviews with their fictional authors, and more.
Normally, I would be terribly proud that students of mine had published a book. But I’m afraid that when people start asking, “Where did all the naughty ideas in this book come from?” they’ll accuse me just because I happened to be their teacher, and just because I happen to be spending a few years in the penitentiary.
I’ve always held myself to the highest standards as an educator and it would be ridiculous to think that anything I did in the classroom had any influence on this naughty book that they’ve written.
Surely the adult magazines I kept in my desk had nothing to do with it. (They weren’t supposed to see those!)
Or the times I got a teensy bit angry and threw my stapler, or when the police handcuffed me and took me away in the middle of class. Those were isolated incidents and I’m sure that I only had a positive impact on the growth of the children in my classroom.
So in the end, I can only blame their parents.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Finklestein,
Former first-grade teacher

The Bipolar Express
Christmas is right around the bend, and the stress of toy-making has put Kris Kringle on the crazy train. . . .
Excerpt:
’Twas the night before Christmas and all ’round the pole
Not a worker was sleeping, not one goddamn soul.
All the elves in the workshop were in quite a pickle,
All due to that “Saint,” that boss who’s so fickle.
And where was that chief, once nice, now a dick,
Where could he be, that unstable St. Nick?
He was not in his workshop, not down in his lair,
But instead at the shrink, in the psychiatrist’s chair!
To tell you the truth, Santa felt pretty low,
He wanted to resign as Pole CEO.
He’d yelled at the Missus and lashed out at the elves,
He screamed, he shouted, he hurled toys from the shelves.
He cursed so loud that the words from his mouth
Carried as far as that Pole in the South.
His voice shook every stocking, every last jingle bell,
“I fucking hate Christmas! All you kids go to hell!”
And now lay Santa, on the couch of some quack,
Needling and wheedling for some Prozac. . . .
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Goldilocks is wandering through the woods and happens upon a house owned by three large, manly bears. She walks inside and samples their food, sits on their furniture, and tries on some of their more intimate garments. When the housemates return home, she tries to run, but she’s soon captured and, as it turns out, Goldilocks is not what she seems to be. . . .
Reviews:

The Lyin’ Bitch and the Wardrobe

When four high dollar, globetrotting escorts meet at a Las Vegas bankers’ convention, they realize just how much they all have in common—hair (blond), dresses (skimpy), STDs (all of ’em). Then and there, in the City of Sin, they form the Sisterhood.

Green Eggs and Hammered
An odd-looking man with a funny hat is afraid to try new foods . . . until his friend Samuel gets him very, very, very drunk.
Excerpt:
Will you eat them with a beer?
Chase them with some Everclear?
Will you take them with some wine?
When you’re drunk they taste divine!
Maybe douse them with hard liquor?
They will go down so much quicker!
Would you? Could you? In a bar?

Puss in Booze
Puss the tomcat’s swashbuckling adventures are long behind him: His fur is mangy, his belly sags, and his arthritis keeps him from getting into his world-famous boots. Now he’s spending what’s left of his nine lives sitting at the bar getting drunk as fuck. But if you can catch him when he’s slightly sober, he can still recapture a little of that old magic and tell you one hell of a story—for the price of a double bourbon.
WARNING:
DO NOT ACTUALLY GIVE YOUR CATS ALCOHOL.
BECAUSE THEY WILL LOVE IT.

Mary, a mysterious governess with a haughty attitude and a bottomless bag of prescription drugs, blows in with the west wind, and answers a family’s call for a new nanny. Her unconventional child-care techniques—along with a spoonful of Valium—win them all over and have a profound calming effect on the rambunctious kids.
Excerpt:
“A spoonful of medicine helps the children go down,” whispered Mary Pill Poppins as the two little ones swallowed the syrup and drifted off to dreamland.
Review:
“Although at first controversial, the pharmaceutical-based approach to child care has proven very effective.”
—Babysitter’s Quarterly

Book Club Discussion Questions:
•Was the farmer’s death at the hands, er, hooves of a flock of sheep all that it seemed? Or was Bo Creep involved?
•Have there been times when you’ve been driven to random, vicious murder? How did it feel?
Reviews:
“Like Michael Myers’s mask in Halloween and the shower in Psycho, Little Bo Creep’s small, gore-soaked shepherd’s crook is destined to become a symbol of horror.”
—St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“. . . a total rip-off of every book I’ve ever written.”
—Stephen King
The Little Engine That Came
None of the big and powerful electric train engines will help a poor farmer move his heavy load, so it’s up to one little steam locomotive to help out. But with his tiny whistle and a slight case of ED (engine dysfunction), no one believes in him but himself.
