Imagine you gave this book to some kids, and then on further reflection took it away, on the grounds that it contained something 'inappropriate.' When I was that age, in that situation, the book would have stayed in my mind and perhaps I would have made an effort to find it again. Similarly, the tv shows kids really want to watch are the ones they aren't supposed to watch. On the other hand, if you leave a book like this in plain sight, it will never generate more mystique than a boring, mostly ignored picture book about a family of penguins deserves.

It's not the book. It's how the book is being used as a teaching tool in schools. If parents want to buy the book for their kids, fine by me. But it looks to me that the book is going to be used in schools for a different purpose entirely than teaching kids about penguins. And that's what ticks me off.

Yup, that's why I store my Drano on the coffee table...if I put it out of reach, they might try to drink it.
