The Weirdest 80s Children’s Book You’ll Ever See

If you were a kid in the 80s you know how weird they were — Garbage Pail Kids, Like Cola, Alf — I could go on and on.

There’s this children’s book from 1982 on Wade’s bookshelf. It was my husband’s when he was young.

Because what goes together better than E.T. and baby animals?

It’s a board book for toddlers.

Toddlers wouldn’t find a strange creature that looks like a monster at all frightening.

And why wouldn’t an extra-terrestrial play with a lion cub?

It makes perfect sense, right?

Look at E.T. frolicking with all those bear cubs! Isn’t it sweet?

Maybe E.T. phoned home about his romp on the Savannah with a baby giraffe.

Well, at least the book is, “easy to wipe clean and non-toxic.”

I don’t believe it. Everything was toxic in the 80’s.
