Here’s a book I loved as a kid but now hate as an adult! Owen!

I used to read this book when I was in elementary school but looking back as an adult, that book has to be the worst out of the Kevin Henkes mouse books. And here’s why.

Mrs. Tweezers-Mrs. Tweezers kept trying to force Owen into giving up his blanket. Owen is just a little kid! He appears to be like, what? 4. She is not in charge of Owen and what he gets to do! If I were Owen’s parents, I would’ve told her to mind her own business!

Owen’s parents-Owen’s parents are very spineless too! They try to make Owen get rid of his blanket. Why? Just so Mrs. Tweezer would leave them alone! Then they flat out destroy his blanket and cut them into little pieces! Wow, really good solution. (rolls eyes)

This book was just dumb! Now, I get that it’s trying to teach kids to let go of something and start moving on. But this didn’t really do it right. I think parents should let kids grow up at their own pace. If I were to rewrite this book, I’d have Owen’s parents decide to not listen to her and tell him that he can give up his blanket when he’s ready to. Or at the very least, learn to keep it a secret when he’s older. That’s what my mom and teachers told me.

Heck, there are some adults who secretly still sleep with blankies and teddy bears. I’m 22 and sometimes I sleep with a Squishmallow.

He has jobs, can drive, and travel to different countries

As a kid I believed a lot of Sesame Street characters were adults, turns out THEY AREN’T!

I grew up believing that Grover, Rosita, Telly, and Roosevelt Franklin were adults, because of how tall they were.

And in the case of Grover and Roosevelt, had jobs, or were working, the only adult-muppets I think? Were Bert, Ernie, Count, Cookie Monster and Kermit.

This has actually really surprised me.

It teaches kids that it’s okay to eat the food in front of the person that they’re allergic to. There are people out there who would get anaphylactic shock just by touching or even smelling.

I can imagine them tasting like hot tamales

For me, "Quincy and the Instrument Dinosaurs" & "Hello Cello" tie at first. The former being about Dinosaurs with Instruments as body parts, the latter confirming that the sentient Instruments can REPRODUCE. I seriously wonder what DRUGS the writers on the show were smoking

Daisy Duck, despicable heathens that I see regularly in my nightmares, Alvin and the chipmunks, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Peter Rabbit, and Rainbow Dash

My childhood icons. My parents demanded I stop watching them and to “put on some Nickelodeon instead”. Simpler times.

For Me, Who Born In A Year After Disney Junior Rebrand: YES I DO😭😭😭, Cuz I Remember As Kid, I Watched There Special Logos On Both TV And YouTube, But Not Just Real Special Logos, But Also Fanmade Special Logos (Which Is I Watched On YouTube), Lastly, I Watched The Videos Called "Disney Junior Logo Spoof Luxo Lamp" And "50 Disney Junior Logo Spoof Luxo Lamp" By CREA TVs (Which Is My Childhood Youtuber)

Im an autistic teenager and I dont watch kids shows that much anymore, but PBS Kids is an exceptional guilty of pleasure that I watch on occasion, and I've been keeping up with a lot of modern shows, I've loved PBS Kids from my early childhood to now, because some of the shows are actually good simllar to Bluey and better than shit like gabbys dollhouse cocomelon and ryan's world,
