@Natasha: Stuart Little is one that I grew up with. Haven’t read it for 15 years, though. I see I must.
@Ann Darnton and Lisa: It is sad! I guess it’s bound to happen when a select few are the ones in charge of purchasing books for a library!

Unfortunately attempting to restrict everyone’s reading based on one’s own personal values is prevalent everywhere. Sad, but true.

I must go and read this article. I’ve certainly come across this sort of thing in the field of UK children’s literature. It tends to be an area where strong personalities gather disciples and have an inappropriate influence. I’m not sure whether I’m comforted that this is the same elsewhere or despairing.

I’ve never read Stuart Little but now I’m thinking that I’d like to.
