If Animals Could Talk: A Children’s Book for Adults is one of those vulgar silly books that is intended for people with sophomoric humor. That’s not to say, it isn’t funny. I did laugh. Despite the 132 pages, I got through it in no time.
And that’s just what a book like this should be, short and simple. We have images of a polar bear talking about his cocaine problem or a kangaroo looking in its pouch saying, “Where the fuck are my keys?”
The book, written by Carla Butwin and John Cassidy, became popular after a social media post showed how people didn’t look through it first to see if it was appropriate. I’m just wondering if someone put it in the children’s section of the bookstore and that might have been the reason why.
It’s a one-joke book and definitely worth reading for a good laugh. But you can very easily finish it within 10 minutes which is about as funny as the premise should be. If anything else, it’s just one of those items to have on your shelves to pull out and look through every now and again when you need a good laugh.
