The kids all know what that means by Kindergarten. Really, they do. And shouldn't kids know the proper names for areas of the body by that age? You're right she should be curious and once she learned what it was, I bet it was hilarious for her and her friends to run around saying it or whispering it. That's real life. Believe me, I've got two boys. I have lived through some of it, I'm sure more is to come.<br /><br />I love the story of And Tango makes three. I need to get that for my picture book collection. I'm counting on grandchildren one day in the long distant future. If not, I'll have a great collection to donate to a shelter. I totally agree with your sentiments. Get with the times people. PLEASE!<br /><br />I haven't heard of Hiroshima, No Pika but I think my son would like that one. He has a lot of questions about Hiroshima and what happened and I honestly can't answer. When I went through school, that wasn't taught. I suppose we were ashamed of what we had done. And so we were told we dropped the bombs and that was the end of the war and that was the end of history as far as 12th grade went. You didn't learn anything else unless you went on to study history in college.<br />I might ask him if he's interested in that one.<br /><br />I don't think I was aware of you doing this challenge or I didn't visit when you reviewed these books but I hope you still do this. I love to see your reviews and the stupid reasons closed minded people have for trying to ban books. I'm with Melissa- EDUCATE ME!<br /><br />Oh and Happy New Year!!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-2100431092317691552013-01-02T15:36:46.649-06:002013-01-02T15:36:46.649-06:00I don't understand why all the fuss about the ...I don't understand why all the fuss about the word scrotum. We all have one, for crying out lout. Honestly, sometimes I think we overreact, try to protect our children from words that are natural and harmless, but fail with things like video games and violence. <br />I haven't actually read And Tango Makes Three, but based on your description and opinion, it sounds like a book I'd WANT my kid to read. In fact, I might just go ahead and order her a copy.
