To Whom It May Concern...

Dear Children's Book Publishers,

Who's idea was it to have a book that makes noise? Because...that was the stupidest effing idea ever. I have been listening to sporadic dog barks and doorbells and swooshing sounds for the last ten or fifteen minutes and decided to investigate. Turns out, Dylan is playing
with
a
book.

It's a book with buttons that make obnoxious noises.

This is wrong. Books shouldn't annoy me. Books should be quiet. Books don't need noises, flashing lights, or batteries.

I know everyone is in a race to improve upon everything, but the only improvement books need is better writing. It would also be great if they fit nicely on a shelf.

I know you think your unreasonably large book is eye-catching, and it is, every time I see it, it catches my eye and I think "oh...there's that huge-ass book I am never sure what to do with," and I secretly hate it for messing up the continuity of my shelves.

Lets just have normal sized, quiet books with good stories inside. No batteries required.

Thanks,

Mum
