‘Children’s Books’ That Were Made To Bring Laughter To Parents

Any parent wants to foster their child's love of reading at a young age since the activity helps them to develop cognitively. However, as much as you love reading to your child, you can only turn pages about a very hungry caterpillar so many times before losing your mind.

These imitation children's books for adults, however, will have you laughing uncontrollably.

The English language is pretty bizarre when you stop to think about it—a lot of words have strange spellings and pronunciation that could confuse adults. P is for Pterodactyl, a humorous alphabet picture book, pokes fun at words in the English language that really are not spelled close to how they sound.

As a parent, you've definitely suffered through a bedtime story, exhausted and wanting to go get something done, only to have your child ask for "another one" the second you finish.

Go The F**k To Sleep is a humorous take on a parent's thoughts as they wish, with their whole being, that their kid would just fall asleep.

As the sequel to Go the F**k to Sleep, this book goes through another one of the most common irritations parents have to face: a child who refuses to eat their food.

You Have to F**king Eat is written with the same rhythm and form as a children's book, but I definitely would not leave it lying around the nursery (that is, unless your kid can't read yet).
