The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer is the first book I've read by a former president and among the weirdest children's books I've read. The crux of the story is pretty straightforward: it's your classic "don't judge a book by its cover" type story.

This is a fairy tale about a boy who becomes friends with a monster. Its good to have if you are talking about courage.
Look beyond the use of old-fashioned words, like "crippled," and you will be taken by this sweet story about a good boy.
just awful.
When I first read this, I got this weird impression that it was written by a youngster. Maybe a third or fourth grader who was advance for their age and got a book published. Even the name "snoogle-fleejer" sounds like something a kid made up. Imagine my SHOCK when I realized that President Jimmy Carter wrote the book! OH MY GOSH.
