It's always so weird looking through older childrens books
This is one that my grandma gave to me when I was little (that's been used a LOT since I'm the oldest of nine lol. Most of the stories in the book are from before the 1940s). As a child I didn't find it weird at all that the father was forcing his young daughter to sleep with the creepy boy frog but now I read it and am just like... "Why?" 馃槀

@Picklebobble2 for sure. My favorite when I was little was the Velveteen Rabbit, which was much tamer than some. But even then, they basically said that all toys were alive, and at the end a bunch had to be burned because the little boy who owned them got sick. I didn't catch on that it meant they would die as a toddler, but by around five I was like "wait a second..."馃槀
