> We have a school that has had a challenge to the book, Animalia, by Graeme

What on earth can anyone find objectionable about _Animalia_? I use it
every 3 years with my 6-8th graders as a contest. We've laminated several
copies of the C and P illustrations for the kids to use. Winner is the one
who identifies the most items on the illustration.

(We can only use it every 3 years because that's how long it takes for the
new 6th graders to go on to high school.) It's one of the most popular
contests that we run. Last time we did it over 30% of our students
participated. Even the faculty gets involved.
