There is also a really funny book called Stan the Garbage Man, where the first half of the book promotes recycling and the second half of the book advocates just taking everything to the dump.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734143376459634885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558198772145788717.post-71041727438660948112012-04-26T07:39:03.675-07:002012-04-26T07:39:03.675-07:00Totally.

We censor the mentions of spanking in Bedtime For Frances (it's "yelling" instead, because while we can manage not to hit our kid, we still yell, so that seems realistic). We also censor the poignant ending of Mike Mulligan And His Steam-Shovel. We just end on victory -- they dig the hole, and everybody's happy. I'm torn about this, because I certainly recognize that I'm actually gutting the book and robbing it of its power. But... I do it anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
