The Horrible Life Lessons Tree: A Parody of Parenting Gone Wrong

by S.M. Torres, Elina Diaz (Illustrator)

Once there was a tree, and she loved a boy―and already, this story is getting weird. This tree did everything for the little boy, spoiled the heck out of him, only to raise a monster, proving to everyone that trees make terrible parents. But whoever thought trees would make good parents? In this satirical, cautionary tale about the consequences of over-coddling your kids, watch the downward spiral of bratty child turned evil lunatic against a tree who was just trying to live her tree life. Enjoy this dark parody of indulgent parenting gone horribly wrong.

Very fun book, needs to go on my bookshelf right next to Adam Mansbach's "Go the f**k to sleep".
