Same here. These kind of issues should not be in children's books. They're gonna have to grow up and face the world fast enough as it is.Originally posted by: JulesMaximus
Yeah, that would have been the point at which I would end it too. I was okay with the notion up to that point. That goes beyond what I think a child's book should be teaching our children IMO.Originally posted by: Amused
Lilly Del Pinto thought the book looked charming when her 5-year-old daughter brought it home in September. Del Pinto said she was halfway through reading it to her daughter "when the zookeeper said the two penguins must be in love."
"That's when I ended the story," she said.
Ah, but what about the parents who think it IS acceptable for their kids to be reading about that stuff? Just because you think it is wrong does not mean your views should prevail.
My views should AND WILL prevail when it comes to what is being taught to my son. I don't care if other parents think it is acceptable. It's not up for debate. This is not something I need to discuss with my child at the age of 4 while I'm reading him a children's book. :|
:beer: Here, here, JulesMaximus. Being a parent myself (and will be again, probably 2 years from now) I agree with you 100%, verbatim.
