Been reading these to my daughter.
At 2 years old I think it's more important that you read rather than what you read.

You might be surprised. My boy will be seven this year and is fascinated with all things cephalopod.
So is his father as near as I can tell...
And I blame Lovecraft for both.??
What happened to Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men? Two perfectly respectable men living together in a large flower pot with a neighbor called 'Weed' hidden discreetly away at the bottom of the garden? The joys of childhood!
This thread wins the internet this week. Thank you for the bright spot in a truly rough day. I needed this.
Speaking of...Anyone catch "Lovecraft Country" on HBO? Great show worth the view.
I watched it till people's skins started falling off in a gooey mess, and that was all I could take. If it had more sex and actual violence instead of just weird gore, I'd have stuck with it. But, I am happy that they won so many awards for it. That's great.
No television here, plus I work too much to sit and watch one anyway.
Great that you read to her. You’re absolutely right. Reading to a child helps them immensely in many ways, making them more articulate and intelligent.
It's all great until she starts repeating "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
That's awesome. One of my favorite kind of deranged children's books is Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book by Shell Silverstein.
I would move up to The Hobbit next. Not only is it a great story but it is totally 'woke' since you have Vertically Challenged Persons or Dwarfs as well as Fairies and Hobbits so that covers the whole LGBT spectrum. It involves countries without borders and an evil dragon. Totally 21st century.
I didn't have access to deranged children's books as a kid. We had to use our imaginations to drum up our own derangement... and Tinker Toys. 
I love those.
Most of our entertainment was gasoline, potato guns, and firecrackers.
You "woke" folks will be glad to know that at the end of Peter and the Wolf that instead of the hunters dispatching the big bad wolf with a fusillade of gun fire, they now take him to the zoo.
