Creepy, So Creepy

Here's the terrifying cover of a book I found today at a local book swap:

It's from 1980. The photo of the book cover doesn't quite do it justice. In person, it makes me think the title should be, "Anyone Can Have a Devil Child - Especially If You Look a Bit Over-the-Top Scary Yourself!"

Obviously the marketers realized their mistake, so the 1997 version of the book -- available at Amazon.com -- has a far less terrifying cover image, featuring a rainbow of happy children and even a dog, not to mention the "emotional intelligence" buzzword:


Tres amusante, methinks.

This just goes to show how fateful spelling mistakes can be in life. I mistakenly bought a copy of "Anyone Can Have A Hopi Child " years ago, and now my adult children are supporting themselves making bead lanyards and weaving baskets.
