You have excellent resources, we thank you. She is shocked at the "narrow minded silliness" she has learned about in doing her research. We have read almost all of the children's books in your link above. I think we would have missed some great times were it not for those books.

And yeah, when it's a book you love, it's hard to believe someone could ban it. Thank you for letting me know you like my site; I really appreciate hearing that.

If the book is without merit or appeal, it either won't get published, or if it is, nobody will want to buy it. The market decides for itself. And that means I decide for myself, nobody else.
