Títulos de literatura infantil que jamás se van a ver

[22/2/02]

Esta lista aparece por todos lados en la Web (buscar "Children's book titles you'll never see" en Google), así que normalmente sólo pondría un link a alguna de esas repeticiones. Pero mi otra vida como codirector de Imaginaria me lleva irresistiblemente a reproducirla aquí. Tal vez alguien tenga ganas de hacer una traducción...

• "Dad's New Wife Timothy"

"Dad's new wife Timothy", tras diez años, resulta francamente discriminatorio, y por suerte sí existen libros semejantes (aunque probablemente no con ese título).

Hay listas diferentes, según dónde uno vaya. Varios que me gustaron:

• "That's it, I'm Putting You Up for Adoption"
• "The Magic World Inside the Abandoned Refrigerator"
• "Whining, Kicking and Crying to Get Your Way"
• "You Can Fly Too If You Wear a Cape"
• "Sharing is For the Weak"
• "Foreigners are Bad People"
• "Plastic Bag Space Helmet and Other Fun Activities"
• "Razor, Razor, Who's Got the Razor?"
• "Is the Stove Hot Yet?"
• "Dead Pets Are Fun Too"
• "The New Baby is Better Than You"

Sigo sin encontrarlo traducido. Pero para qué, ¿no?
