Great book. My mother’s aunt, who was a teacher in the NYC schools (1929-1959) gave us a discarded copy. Imagine trying to get that book in NYC schools today?

It's available, sans images, from Gutenberg.org

Could be the American Dairy Council tried to have it banned because it gave away the secret getting butter without milk...

Guess they didn't foresee a shortage of tigers.

Apparently LBS was popular even among blacks since it portrayed a black kid in a positive light -smart and quick thinking, against the usual characterizations common at the time.
