I love it how in thud Terry says that in WMC,"The author was writing from the racked depth of their souls,"when he is the author 
Also I like the idea of giving this book to kids,if they read it while they are young then when they grow up they'll see references to one of their favourite childhood stories when they read Discworld.
There may however be concern over a generation of kids who go around shouting "Bugrit!"

Kis? I spent a week muttering "Bugrit!" while mulling over computer searches on clients records during a temp assignment after reading DW.
Trouble was it was a very elegant corporate office and I kept getting side looks from the manager. I had to finally explain the whole DW thing
I don't think he got it, and with a great deal of willpower I went back to mumbling "Hmmmm".

My three year old says bugger all the time.
No,honest,she does.Every time we pass a building site.
Ok,I see this needs explaining.
Emma is bilingual,of course.Like all small kids that are bilingual,they sometimes mix words of one language with another.
She likes to watch the excavators and diggers.Untypically for girls,she loves them.She groups them into family members,too.
Of course she likes to point them out to me.
Now,to enlighten you on this,"digger" in German is called "Bagger",pronounced "bugger".And she obviously prefers the German word to the correct English one.
"Look,Mummy,all those nice big Baggers!Look at the yellow Bagger!
There´s a Mummy Bagger and a Daddy Bagger and a baby Bagger.
And look how they are all Baggering nicely!!Aren´t they good Baggers?"
I always pray noone understands English.....
Maybe reading "Where´s my cow" is not such a good idea after all....

"Oh look kids! A digger! Mummy will pull over and let you watch!"
"Do we HAAAAVE to Mum!"
Kiwis and Aussies use the bugger word all the time....
