What's ironic is I checked out the book form my CATHOLIC school library in the late 70's. I also loved Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume <br /><br />In 2nd grade, my daughter had to read Maniac Magee, it deals with racism. I had to sign a paper giving her permission to read it. The teacher gave us the note a week in advance so I bought it and read it so I would be prepared to answer any questions or fears that my daughter may have had when reading the book. <br /><br />I would rather let my kid read the books some think are questionable,and be able to explain the situations to he, than not expose her to all kinds of literature. Nowdays, it's a BLESSING just to get a kid to pick up a book instead of a wi-mote or nintendo DS.diamondmomma11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06588257747488574222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-47675026763687605132010-11-08T15:32:41.483-06:002010-11-08T15:32:41.483-06:00Book banning drives me nuts!

The one thing I took away from Forever was after you do the deed, you can't go back to just holding hands. But then I thought it was one of those "Well, duh." moments in literary history. <br /><br />As for banned books, I hate to see any books on that list--even the ones we know are trash because we all know that there are people who think books like the Bible and To Kill a Mockingbird should be banned.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-59919738868887120012010-11-08T08:05:02.285-06:002010-11-08T08:05:02.285-06:00Read both those books (and everything else by Judy...Read both those books (and everything else by Judy Blume). It didn't kill me. Some might argue I'm not normal, but I don't think that's Judy Blume's fault. :)Jana DeLeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351774231244304409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-64767429943932687002010-11-08T07:56:57.980-06:002010-11-08T07:56:57.980-06:00A Judy Blume book on Menopause!
