Monkey, Onyx, Thank you also for pointing that out, I have heard of so many of these damn organizations, even when they sound outragious, they are real ones.

Hey, you admitted you screwed up...something that many people apparently can't.

Fireman · 03-16-2004, 05:52 PM

Thanks. I try to do that, so Ill only eat my foot at the toes, and not all the way to my knees.(LOL) But the way people are getting, its only a matter of time before somthing like this is real. Scary isnt it?

Hmmm. A Sendak interview by Moyers was broadcast last week on NOW. It was interesting to hear him discuss the importance of discussing the persistent existence of evil in the world and the ongoing need for courage to fight it, a theme found in many of his children's books. I like Max.

I just hope that my daughter like it too. I am sure that Alot of us growing up was like Max. I am still looking for the pajamas like that his.

I'm only too happy to admit when I've screwed up. If I didn't, I'd never have anything to talk about...

Although the story is contrived, I think it serves a purpose as a good cautionary tale.

This is not the first children's story that has been taken away or sanitized, after all.

Possibly the first Caldecott Medal Winner, though.

I'd say that the best kids' books have something for everyone, both child and adult, and I have a collection of'em up on a high shelf in my house where they won't be spolt by sticky little fingers!

The House at Pooh Corner. Loved it as a kid. Loved reading it to my kids.

Quote:

Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders.

"What does 'under the name' mean?" asked Christopher Robin.

"It means he had the name over the door in gold letters, and lived under it."

"Winnie-the-Pooh wasn't quite sure," said Christopher Robin.

Alice in Wonderland, a timeless classic. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

I remember liking and being confused by The Phantom Tollbooth as a kid. I still have a copy, and it is still good reading as an adult.

I also remember reading and liking The Mouse and the Motorcycle, but I never read it as a grown up.
