      Great book! It shows the pettiness of young girls.

      I have this book too. I really like some of the activities in it. I also purchased the Teacher's Edition to go along with it.

      I read this as a child and I loved it. I never thought of this as a "bully" book.

      I never did either but now that I think about the book, it really does show bullying behavior of making fun of the "duckling" and leaving him out. I just covered bullying again with one of my groups. Would you believe that all 15 girls have been bullied?

      I would love to read this again. Our daughter was a victim of bullying last year, it was miserable! It makes me mad as a parent but also very sad for the one who is doing the bullying. An eye opening experience.

      We are currently reading this book in our 6th grade class, a very good book for that age group!

      I love this book. My children love the Berenstain Bairs. It's great to see a fictional character go through these situations so they know how to handle it if it happens to them.

    I need to bulk up my library! This is a topic that needs to be discussed in schools on a regular basis to keep the topic fresh in their minds.

Huckleberry Finn Censored - 1 views

    Huckleberry Finn is now censored for school curriculum use

    I listened on MPR's morning show when the Prof. who did this was on to discuss. I admit that I think it is not necessary to sanitize the language- while I understood the teacher who called in to say it would be nice to teach the book without addressing the "N" word, I think that addressing it is part of what the book has to teach. I'm curious if you caught any of that on MPR?

    I think it is so dumb to censor Huckleberry Finn. The book is a great read and a good look at how some people thought in those days. Might help us understand our history. Teachers can explain the background for students. I read something about this in the NY Times. Thanks for the post Nathan. I think this is an important topic for us to be thinking about.

      I do this with my Girl Scout groups and the girls are very receptive to listening to the stories. It seems to relax them. My only problem, I have little interrupters that like to tell me about their dog which was triggered by the dog in the book.
