Tiny Art Director - An artist and his dictator of a child. His daughter's judgments on his art are hilarious. Like, I'm crying they're so funny.
My First Dictionary - I might have linked to this blog already... I have no long-term memory. Anyway, it's a dictionary in the style of a learning-to-read book, only with the most depraved sentence examples ever.
On literature
The Best Word Book Ever, 1963 vs 1991 - I have the old version, which my mom got me as a small child in the 80s - it was one of the few books in English she could find while we were living in Switzerland, so she bought it even though it was bound backward - and it was my favorite book for years. I did noticed, even as a kid, how gender biased it was; a lot of changes were made for the 1991 edition apparently, and this set of pictures compares the two versions.
False documents - "The creation of false documents is at its best an act of liberation, to tell something truer than the established truth."
