Hi, I’m looking for some children’s books that teach marxist values or just any humanist values in general (age 2-4). preferably in german. thank you in advance :D I want to read them to my son
Click Clack Moo. All about labour organizing, with a nice dose of animal rights.
is it indoctrination if I read these to my nieces and nephews?
I’m not sure if these books are available in Germany, and if it’s appropriate for such a young child, but my mom used to read a series of books from Nikolai Nosov called “Neználek” in Czech with me.
It takes place in a communist society. This was my first exposure to communism, and I remember asking my father why we can’t just get houses for free, because it seems like it would help everyone… to which I got a lecture about how communism can never work, etc, you get it. I was like 5 lol
Anyway, that would be my recommendation.
Dr. Seuss has some real bangers.
Yertle the Turtle - about regular workers overthrowing an oppressor
The Sneeches - anti-consumerism
The Lorax - environmental
The Butter Battle Book - deep cut Seuss about the arms race during the cold war haha
Yeah these are good. I can’t bring myself to read Butter War to my kids. Its so fucking bleak. First time I read Lorax to my oldest it made me cry. These books hit real different when you have kids.
The Little Red Hen and Cory and the Seventh Story are the first two that come to mind.
