Back in the day, Irish school books were weird.
The covers included dancing cows, a pilot mouse, cycling rabbits and other such ludicrous ideas.
It appears that the only way the youth of this country can learn our nation's language is through the medium of animals doing human things. What a time to be alive.
In following on from my previous work of
judging books by their covers, I will now offer alternative names for our beloved Irish literature, based entirely on their ridiculous cover images. And in English, obviously.
