A U.S. mother鈥檚 tweets have gone viral after she shared photos of a seemingly kid-friendly picture book her son received from his grandma, in which she found a variety of colourful illustrations of animal saying a variety of colourful and inappropriate phrases.

The book, called 鈥淚f Animals Could Talk,鈥 features 96 pages of kid-friendly animal illustrations accompanied by vulgar and, some adults might say, hilarious things.

The more safe-for-work quotes include:

鈥淚 might have a coke problem鈥 鈥 polar bear

鈥淲ho you trying to get crazy with ese?鈥 鈥 badger

鈥淪omeone get my Epipen!鈥 鈥 blowfish

Other more offensive entries include a weiner dog discussing women鈥檚 anatomy, a manatee saying something about a motorboat and a chick saying: 鈥淎ight, let鈥檚 tear the roof off this mutha f鈥攁!鈥

鈥淢y mother bought this book for my six-year-old and I just called to ask if she had actually opened the book,鈥 the woman, whose name is Tiffany, wrote on Twitter. 鈥淪he hadn鈥檛.鈥

Her initial tweet about the book has been retweeted more than 50,000 times and liked more than 141,000 time since Tuesday night.

Tiffany says her six-year-old daughter tried reading the book, but said 鈥淚 don鈥檛 even know what this means鈥 after the first page.
