One of the big children's authors here when I was growing up (maybe still is) was Paul Jennings. He writes a lot of "weird" stories but one of the things I noticed even as a kid that made me uncomfortable was how almost *every loving thing he wrote* involved a kid (usually a young teen) being naked and embarrassed in front of at least one other person. I was given the Wicked series and it was... Alright? Weird, but not in like a "woah crazy" way but more I just got the vibe that some of the things that happen probably... Shouldn't have made it through editing? Like the second protagonist's mother becoming young temporarily and then making out with the protagonist. That was weird and uncomfortable to read. Anyway, a lot of his stories got made into episodes of Round the Twist, which I remember being alright but super hit and miss, and having some uncomfortable episodes. So there's that.

Shel Silverstein also wrote a tonne of songs, including Cash's "A Boy Named Sue", plus a tonne for Dr Hook and the Medicine Man Show and a tonne of other songs that got a lot of versions and play. Dude was hella talented.
