A Story About Many Different Sheep

A Story About Many Different Sheep:

Side-project alert:

So I have a baby daughter and I read to her. A lot. And I noticed that many, not all, but many of her children’s books contain short summaries as part of the Library of Congress data on their copyright page. What’s great about these summaries is that they are wonderfully straight-faced descriptions of what are often plotless books or tales of surreal storybook logic. The results are often comical in a great dead-pan way.

Anyway, I started collecting them. If you’re curious, the collection’s just getting started at A Story About Many Different Sheep. And if you find any summaries you particularly like, please send them along.
