Ngnat got through it ok, which is more than I can say for me, alternating as I was between absolute horror "His mommy died! What the hell is this doing in a kid's book?" and Beavis "Shrooms, huh-huh huh-huh". She put it in her pile afterwards, so I suppose I'll be reading it again and again for a while, until she tires of it or asks Mommy if the hunter is going to shoot her, too.

Amazon tells me The Travels of Babar should be here in a week or so. I can't wait.
