This is a topic that certainly stirs up a classroom, perhaps teachers just don't to deal with it.

The reasons for banning certain books still amazes me.

Thanks for your comments, as always. My bookshelf is a library for all to borrow from.

Regarding a certain comment received about elevators, don't you think it best to just ignore it?

Which, of course, brings to mind the question, "Do crowded elevators smell different to midgets?"

". . .but while my sons were far too grown up to read this fourth and fifth grade book, I couldn’t wait to share it with their children."

From this book and the other wonderful youth and 'youthful' books you have reviewed here on Epinions I am sure they very much look forward to visiting, or visits from, Aunt pesty.


Very nicely done.

Toot on Banning! (Reply to this comment)
by dramastef, dramastef is a Lead on Epinions in Books
Really... banning for the focus on public flatulence? Might as well ban those who do it, rather than books that talk about it!

I've never actually read this, but I've put it on my wish list. Thank you much!
