When you think of children's books, you probably picture fairytales filled with innocence and joy. Which they usually are; unless they're part of illustrator Arthur C. Gackley's Bad Little Children's Books collection. Filled with covers of satirical, sinister parodies of innocent kids' books from the mid 20th century, they are politically incorrect, offensive, and oh-so-frickin-funny. Scroll through and unleash the inner bad child inside of you. 

When you think of librarians, you probably picture a stern older woman with glasses down the end of her nose and no sense of humor. And you may be right, but these pictures prove that actually, librarians are a lot funnier than we think. Surrounded by books all day means they can pick up some good old punny content and make some glorious signs with them. Here are some of the most groan-worthy library memes on the internet and some more here for when you're done with these. 

If the rest of the book is as hilarious as the book dedication, we want to read all of these novels ASAP. 

We recommend following this Instagram accountas the illustrations and titles go together perfectly and they cover such a wide range of topics. Dating, dieting, trying to make friends as an adult without coming off like a desperate creep. Like we said, relatable. 

And the struggle is real...We know.

In case you always wanted to read one and never got around to it and don't wanna be the only one that didn't read or understand the plot...Illustrator John Atkinson, has recently done us (and perhaps you) a favor.

One Instagram user found a way to make libraries less boring  – by adding subtitles to book titles he's found in various aisles. And, we're laughing all the way through this article.

Does anyone remember funny guy David Vienna? Well, if you don't here is a time to start and get to know him. Science of Parenthood first got to know the funny man back in 2015 when he was telling parents around the world over to calm the fck down. Literally. That was the title of his book, Calm The Fck Down: The Only Parenting Technique You'll Ever Need. Based on a viral post from his Daddy Complex blog, his book encouraged parents to stop freaking out about their kids, use some common sense and just parent. (Sounds so easy right?) We mean, it's all good and dandy/ a great piece of advice... but umm we are always going to freak out! 

Ever read a book and just skip over who its for? Who the author decided that all their hard work is thanks to a specific person, or a few people... Ya, neither have we. 

But after ready all these perfect dedications, we are going to start!
