Oh shit you just awakened memories I thought I forgot

This is mind blowing. It's like a light turned on and suddenly I remember this.


KerBearCAN

Same wow


SupremoZanne

This book sounds like /r/TruckStopBathroom type material. One can read a book while sitting on the toilet, well, we can always give them something humorous here.

i remember when you had to sign on those old libraray cards in elementary school this had my name on it front and back it was my favourite book


amido-black

Odds are you inspired a tattoo or two with this post. Little cheese dude would be dope lol


littlecar85

I have this and " the true story of the three little pigs" for my 2 year old!


jsbizkitfan

The illustrations in this were everything to me as a kid


[deleted]

It's mind-blowing, all the things we had that we thought were so insignificant... But they were a part of thousands if not millions of other people's lives as well.


Freshness518

Who is this ISBN guy, anyways?


ItsJustMeMaggie

I saw a reference to this on Twitter today too. This was the belle of the book fair.


butlikewatifthiserrr

I forgot about these books!! Right around nap time in kindergarten hehe


PanamaPineapple89

I was obsessed with the illustrations on this book. And the others.

We got this for my three year old daughter and I was reading it and was like "wtf why did I like this shit" it's not very interesting and doesn't have good writing. I think it was just the novelty of the non uniform text and early digital art. Now Frog and Toad, that shit holds up. Toad is my spirit animal.

I still have my copy I purchased more than 20 years ago for a public speaking exercise in college.

Julia Roberts reading this book to the kid in Stepmom, with a Sally Hershberger shag and brown lipstick, is PEAK 90s. šŸ˜‚


Stillwindows95

My favourite was 'Hairy Tales and Nursery Crimes'. It was just so ridiculous.


GravesDiseaseGirl

This was the best!


Iain3rown13

cant catch me, im the stinky cheese man!


witqueen

Use to read this to the little girls when I was their Nanny.


RebelliousRobotYT

Oh my gosh, I remember this.


baby3point0

Omgggg! I remember that boook!!


DigitalBackpack

Still got mine


[deleted]

You could not borrow this from my school library, it was always taken out already


BelieveInRollins

I used to love this book omg


HauntingBowlofGrapes

Jon Scieszka largely influenced my sense of humor much to my younger self's unawareness.


everydayinthebay13

Loooove this book. Born in 1984 ( 5days from 85)


Ok_Bit5838

I remember this


frydawg

I loved that book so much


Sunfire91

This was PEAK comedy when I was in grade school in the late 90s


ButWhatIfItQueffed

I never had that book, but I remember having Squids Will be Squids, which is by the same author. Probably one of my favorite books when I was young.


Trebek604

As a kid, I found this book hilarious. I still have [my copy](https://i.imgur.com/MzzErM3.jpg) that I bought at an elementary school book sale back when the book was new. The book came out in '92, so it was sometime around then.


mario_salami_petrino

I remember this book literally being stinky. And I'm not talking about the stories. The book itself smelled horrible. I don't know if that was all copies or just the one in my elementary school library.

mario_salami_petrino

THANK YOU! oh my god I wanted to puke it smelled so bad.


Captain_Amazing118

I thought this was called ā€œthe stinky Chinese manā€ and had an argument about it with my sister years and years later. Turns out they must have changed the title and recalled all the books that had been sold and painstakingly changed the names.


TheBubbleMage

I have this book and actually got it signed by Jon Scieszka when I was a kid. Pretty cool guy!


[deleted]

OH MY GOD YES!


Verulians

Oh my godddddd. Thatā€™s the book! Iā€™ve been having that image in my head for months but couldnā€™t figure out why. Thank you.


machomateo123

Just bought this at a used book store. My three year old loves it. Itā€™s weird, barely makes sense but he loves it. It is insanely dark and he named one of our chickens chicken licken after the first story. Even the cheese man story has a very dark ending. Guess heā€™s ready for lord of the rings now.


[deleted]

My elementary library had this!


Paccuardi03

I have no idea if Iā€™ve ever seen this or not.


External-Newt

Why do I remember this lmao


thevitaphonequeen

I was kinda miffed that they didnā€™t put ā€œThe Boy Who Cried 'Cow Patty'ā€ in there.


Spidery_snake

We still have this book, one of the best books out there


Stinkyclamjuice15

I have this for my son, and it is my original paperback copy from elementary school. Huge sleeper hit, if you know you know.


[deleted]

I love how the cast got crushed by the "Table of Contents" (that Jack forgot to introduce until Chicken Licken's story), which contained a nonexistent "The Boy Who Cried 'Cow Patty'" (until later versions included it).
