19 Bizarre Books for Kids

From Pop-Up Fun to Lessons on Weed & Plastic Surgery

These bizarre books for kids prove children's literature isn't quite made of the stuff it used to be. Gone are fluffy fairytales about happily ever after; today attention-grabbing titles include 'It's Just a Plant' (for kids with pothead parents) and 'Anik the Unique Alpaca' (because looking like an Alpaca can be a good thing).

This cluster of bizarre books for kids also includes children-style literature actually aimed at adults, like B is for Beer. Lastly, it features innovations like Tikatok which let parents customize their own books.
