Nutkin deserves a kick up the arse
as always, this old children's book is traumatising like most old children books are.
An owl tried to skin a squirrel and ripped his tail in half.. I mean the squirrel deserved it but still
the most relatable out of all the children books ive ever read because Nutkin and I both annoy people on purpose and spend our free time playing marbles. I wish I was joking but playing marbles is my latest obsession.
Reread of this series continues, alas, this one is slightly horrifying, which takes away from the charm. Obviously taunting/rudeness to one's elders and not bringing a gift for a host are emphatically discouraged, but the whole tail dismemberment and mention of possible skinning are a bridge too far for a children's book in my eyes. 😬 Pity, because there are some lovely illustrations of squirrels and harvest season.
