Friday Fun: Failed Christian Children’s Book Titles

A trending hashtag—or popular topic label—on Twitter this week was "failed children's book titles." (You can search the hashtag here, but be warned that many of the tweets with that tag have been offensive; here are a few of my favorites--all clean.) The idea was to take a familiar children's book title and change a word or three to to put a humorous spin on it, and post the result to Twitter. I tweeted some with religious overtones, and came up with a few more for this post.

Take a look and then post your own in the comments section. We'll be posting our favorite submissions at @ThinkChristian on Twitter next week. If you're on Twitter, include your Twitter name if you want us to use it to credit you.

The third one's the best by far.

I find the title "How the ACLU stole Christmas" hilarious! Maybe it should have been an adults book instead of a childrens book. Although I haven't actually read the book, maybe the author should have provided a copy to every politician to improve their literacy. Based on current politicians performance and recent bills being presented, I would say none of them can read or they wouldn't be recommending bills that contradict our freedoms explicitly declared in the constitution. I love the title and have looked for the book to buy but haven't found it yet.
I'm still trying to figure out what response to this comment, which was not deemed off topic, will not be deemed off topic. I found the title mildly funny, and decided not to comment on the fallacy underlying the humor, until Name played it up, making broad comments that have no basis in fact. That sort of spoils what modest humor there was in the proposed title. So maybe I should say, "I don't think it's all that hilarious at all." Is that on topic? And if so, shouldn't I briefly say why?
I like the sixth one :)
