[LM_NET] TAR: Oklahoma - O is for Oil

[Sarah Loch <sloch@MID-DEL.NET>]

I received a "children's book" from the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board entitled O 
is for Oil. It is an alphabet book, with each letter being something related to the 
oil and/or energy industry. The book has a high production quality, but I'm 
hesitant to include it in my library. It is technically a picture book, but the 
vocabulary used is more appropriate to middle or high school. I just find some 
parts of the book rather heavy-handed, including "Q is for Quality of 
Life....There's a good chance someone in your family owes his or her job to the 
Oklahoma oil and natural gas industry." and "Y is for Your Future in Oil and 
Natural Gas. You could grow up to be one of more than 50,000 Oklahomans who work in 
the oil and natural gas industry."
 
If you are an Oklahoma librarian, have you received this book? What did you do with 
it?
