About Tiny Treasury
It's impossible to get rid of a bad children's book once it has entered your house. In fact, if history teaches us anything, it's that it will become a favorite. Your child will cling to it, sleep with it and worst yet, require you to read it over and over again.
At tinytreasury.com, our mission is separate the good from the bad. If I can save one parent from having to read a rhyming book about dancing pigs, then I'll know I've done my job.

This one is even more difficult than Cat in the Hat!
I was an angsty teenager when I read Lord of the Flies (I believe that the boys in the novel are actually tweens) and I still say “asmar” when referring to the respiratory condition.
But I always loved Holden Caulfield - So I’ll have to vote for Catcher in the Rye.

Never a great fan of Catcher in the Rye (I know…insert gasp from the audience here). I have to go for Lord of the Flies
