More than 40 years ago, my venth grade English teacher by telling us that we were absolutely not allowed to read “The Catcher the Rye” becau we weren’t “ready” for it. So naturally we all went out and read it immediately.
I told this story to my son when he was a venth grader. I meant it as a funny story, and I pointed out that it had taken me years to appreciate that teacher’s pedagogic strategy.

Adults have been known to worry a great deal about the possible destructive influence of the publishing world on children. If you look at the list of “frequently challenged children’s books” maintained by the American Library Association Office of Intellectual Freedom, yo

Books can get challenged becau they involve magic (Philip Pullman, J.K. Rowling), or becau they offend (冒犯) religious nsibilities. “A Wrinkle in Time”, by Madeleine L’Engle, has been challenged as both overly and insufficiently religious. Some books are challenged becau they describe children behaving, well, childishly. (Junie B. Jones, the heroine of a ries of books by Barbara Park, gets in trouble for using words like “stupid”.) So adults worry that books may be bad for children’s morals and for their manners.
In fact, banned book lists can be a great resource for parents looking for books that teach kids about the world and themlves.
