Billy's Picture Book

[Neon Maniac]

The stories in this are sometimes hillarious. It's been called a children's book for 40 year old men. I've read some of these stories in anthologies over the last few years, and they rarely disappoint. Billy and the Fairy and Billy and the Unicorn are favorites, but I haven't read them all yet. AR, these stories are right up your alley.

“Billy was playing with dolls again,” said Billy’s mother. She was carving the turkey.
“Of course,” said Billy’s father. “That’s because he’s a sissy.”
“I am not,” said Billy.
“You are so,” said Billy’s father. “Look, I brought you another doll.
Billy took the doll to his room after supper. It was a baby doll. Billy hated it.
It had a string. Billy pulled it.
“You’re a sissy,” said the doll. “I am not,” said Billy. He shook the doll and pulled the string again.
“You are so,” said the doll.
Billy tied the doll to a pencil. Then he got a book of matches and burned the doll up. He pulled its string so he could hear it scream.
“What are you doing in there?” asked Billy’s mother.
“Nothing,” said Billy.
