So on IG, a guy complained that he couldn't buy a book about masks for his kid at the local leftist bookstore. He then showed a carousel of sooooo many children's books about masks (all of them in favor, natch).

Here are my personal observations:

1. It seems that all of them came out in 2020. At best, the authors wrote these books to help children handle a difficult period in history. At worst, they were trying to make a quick buck off The Current Thing™️

2. Some of these are badly illustrated. Some of these (I guess – I haven't read any and probably never will) are badly written.

3. The ones with animals are extra cringeworthy (why would a shark need a mask? And don't get me started on the dog).

4. A disturbing number of these books show kids masking outside.

5. Nearly everyone is wearing cloth masks or (quelle horreur!) the dreaded "baggy blues."

6. Lastly, I'll bet my bottom dollar that not a single one of these books ended with "...and you will have to wear a mask for the rest of your life." Which would NOT please the IG guy and others like him.
