The Brown Bottle
Jones
1983
Submitter: Found this in storage (at least that’s our saving grace – this wasn’t on the shelf!) of a small town public library. I have now weeded it. It’s a picture book about a caterpillar who is an alcoholic. And dies instead of changing into a butterfly. While I get what they were going for, it’s sort of horrifying. What kind of person would read this to a small child??
Holly: WTF? Seriously. W. T. F.
