Oh, I almost forgot the reason I was writing about my dad in the first place! (This is your brain on drugs.) I emailed him a list of award-winning children's books to buy for me in Germany, among them The Very Hungry Caterpillar (or Die Kleine Raupe Nimmersatt). He said he didn't find this classic award-winning book in the least bit interesting. In fact, he thought it was pedagogic in the most primitive form. But it's won awards, I said. And people love it! Well, just because people love it doesn't mean it's any good, he said. Just as easy as that.
