dulios says: "I'm certainly not going to sit in judgment of those who get plastic surgery - but do we really have to teach our kids that we need it to 'feel better' and be 'beautiful'? Ugh." What about the children of hollywood stars? Cher and Demi Moore are perfect examples. Both have had extensive "corrective" surgery done and look at their daughters, Esp Cher's daughter Chastity. How are they going to explain that all the makeup and exercise in the world isn't going to make the look half as good as their moms. If they do look like a before what is that going to do for their own self-image? I know I'm an uptight old "fogey," but I don't see why this is necessary. Tell the kid if he asks, but he/she doesn't need a picture book. Humbug! The award-winning book, "And Tango Makes Three," tells the true story of two male penguins in the Central Park Zoo who raised an egg together. As a family, they hatch and raise a chick named 'Tango.' The 2005 book, written with simple words and colorful pictures and dedicated "to penguin lovers everywhere," topped the American Library Association's list of banned or challenged books in 2006. Why? Because people thought the book's content might not be developmentally appropriate for some children (2 dads). Now I don’t agree with pulling that book, I think those people are ignorant and overreacted…but this book? Come on…please say this is a joke! What 4 year old, or even a 10 year old... |
