Children’s Book Review Parody

by LearnAsYouGrow on January 22, 2010

The Onion comes up with some very clever and funny pieces.

For those of you not familiar with it, The Onion is a parody newspaper and website. People may be offended by some of the content, but there seems to be a hint of truth in most of the articles. I think that is why I find it funny.

They recently posted a parody review of a children’s book called “Chomper & Clomper”.

The Onion's Chomper & Clomper Review

“Scholars and critics across the country expressed outrage this week following the release of Chomper & Clomper, a children’s book that some have called an irresponsible and exploitative portrayal of the celebrated friendship between Clomper, a Brandenburger gelding, and Chomper, a caterpillar of the Junonia genus.”

Good stuff.

To me, this review (and The Onion, in general) serves as a reminder that we sometimes take things too seriously.

You can read the entire review here.

Enjoy!
