Book Challenge

Well,  Friday we had a parent come in and fill out a challenge form for the book Mine's the Best by Crosby Bonsall.   Since I am on the school wide Media Center Committee I will be taking part in the entire process! I am so excited! Does that make me a nerd?..... I wonder?  Anyway, the parent has concerns that the book promotes conflict.  I read it and I can somewhat see what she is saying....in a very vague sort of way.........still she wants it REMOVED from the shelves! REALLLYY?  Why not use the book as a springboard into a lesson on playing nice with your friends? I just don't get it!  I spent quite some time discussing this whole issue with Mr. Frame.......
  As a future librarian I am so glad to see the Media Committee in action. Also, I am thankful that Media Committees make decisions regarding these issues so that the MS is not left blowing in the breeze alone! I can imagine how hard it would be to face this issue without back-up! We will meet this week and make a recommendation.
