Stumbled across this today.

When I seen the title my reaction was "this cannot mean what I think it means", but sure enough, it did mean what I thought.

Brenda's Beaver, by Bimisi Tayanita, narrated by Tom Foolery.

These are actual children's books, that can be purchased, and aren't some sort of strange joke. Look it up.

It's a bit reminiscent of drag queen story hour (breakdown of that here, https://youtu.be/dx_4bssWW-E?t=1167 , at 19mins 27s).

It seems the children books are more-so meant for the parents to have a laugh, and are less-so for the children themselves (unless we assume they want to sexualize children).

Also of note, the books don't have moral content, they don't teach a moral lesson, unlike the children books and TV shows I grew up with 15-25 years ago.

Unsurprisingly, the narrator, "TomFoolery", is a progressive. This is shown by his glowing review of Kamala Harris in one of his children books:

So, Dr. Seuss is cancelled, and in its' place we have anti-racism children books, and, sexualized children books.
