Librarian’s urgent email to staff after spotting an awkward X-rated detail on a children’s book 

A librarian went viral after sharing the urgent email she sent to staff after spotting an awkward X-rated detail in a popular children’s book.

The anonymous employee posted on Facebook, where she shared a snapshot of the book My Daddy is a Giant on the library shelf, but due to the book’s location, it appeared to read My Daddy is a C*nt.

The librarian wrote: ‘All staff: make sure copies of “My Daddy” are not placed in the front of the book case. Thank you’.

My Daddy is a Giant is a popular children’s book published in 2005 by Carl Norac from Belgium.

It tells the story of a little boy, for whom having a dad is like having his ‘personal giant’.

More than 9,000 people who saw the book’s location had a quick laugh and shared comments.

“Oh, that’s an unfortunate position for the book,” one person commented.

“It took me a minute,” added another.

A third wrote: ‘Oh gosh, that’s funny. He got me,’ added another.

This isn’t the first parenting mistake to go viral.

A screenshot from the Reading Eggs program has discovered a particularly rude word (pictured)

Previously, a mother revealed how she discovered a very rude word when using an online learning app with her son.

The program she and her son used was ABC’s Reading Eggs, a game designed to help children learn to read the alphabet.

“Doing ABC Reading Eggs with my 3 year old daughter,” the mom wrote alongside a photo she shared on Reddit. ‘Can you find the letter “C”?’

‘At least we know the show is made in Australia!’

The collection of letters shown in the photo could spell profanity.
