pickToddlers adore this simple book!!!
And if we ever needed proof that book bans have gotten out of hand in America this book is it. In 2010 the Texas board of ed. confused the author of this book with a philosopher of an almost identical name who teaches (among other things) Marxist theory, and banned this book… scared perhaps that hidden messages would lead their 3 yr olds to reject capitalism????

5feet.of.fury I remember when that happened! I was teaching preK at the time at Boys and Girls Club and we were gifted copies for all the students! It‘s a cute book, but yeah the people doing the book banning aren‘t very good at research 🤣 2y
Sparklemn @5feet.of.fury Yet they see themselves as the arbiters of morality. 🙄 Yikes! 2y
