The beauty of Blogger!<br /><br />Jean,<br />Good to hear from you! Sometimes I don't intentionally pick a banned book; it just happens. I guess my tastes run a little wild!

Thanks for this inspiring post--it made me think of some of the great literature that has been banned, from Push to Tom Sawyer to Maurice, one of my favorites.LARCHMONThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484862915577134235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858983085428585414.post-76612225664652469812010-10-03T08:44:18.560-07:002010-10-03T08:44:18.560-07:00W&W,

Black Beauty was banned because of its name? Yikes. Yes, thank goodness my parents believed in books. We thought we were so deprived growing up because they refused to buy a tv. Now we know what a gift that was.<br /><br />Jemi,<br />Thank you for all you do in the classroom. Teachers like you ROCK.

Even the movie based on the book was very good. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to ban it….. I'll have to look up and see how many others on the banned lists I have read. Thank you so much for posting.Anthony Ducehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476865809734682418noreply@blogger.com
