This Twitter User Renamed Popular Children’s Reading Books Published By Oxford

The Oxford Reading Tree series is a popular set of books published by Oxford University Press, specifically designed to teach children how to read using phonics. This extensive reading scheme has over 800 books in various genres, including fiction and non-fiction, such as Biff, Chip and Kipper Stories, Songbirds, Traditional Tales, and in Fact. You may have even used these books yourself to learn to read. It’s highly likely that your child’s school has a few of these books in their library or classroom.

Recently, a Twitter user recreated the book covers of the Oxford Reading Tree series, using alternative texts that reference current social situations. These new titles have garnered a lot of attention, with many finding them relatable and humorous. While the books themselves remain the same, the new covers have given the well-known series a fresh perspective and relevance in today’s society.

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    Sorry I will defend doggo to the end, even though I use the equally annoying term puppa most of the time with my own dog. The catch a turd one had me laughing waaay too hard.
