F U, Penguin: Telling Cute Animals What’s What by Matthew Gasteier
My rating: 5/5 cats
and so but then there is this book. and suddenly, everything is better—my secret inner shame over being so susceptible to the cute things and how unsophisticated it makes me look to be sleeping with my bunny every night…i needed this book to put it into perspective. seriously—who the fuck do these animals think they are, making us talk like babies with high-pitched “awwwwws” and the like? freeloading off of us and thinking that if they are an otter all they have to do is make little clapping motions with their hands and we will give them a place to live and feed them forever?? so many animals are just coasting on their looks and it’s time to fight back. fuck you, penguin. fuck you, wombat. and most especially: fuck you, red panda.
and i love that this author’s only other book was about nas. i think it’s a great pairing on the bookshelves.
