K. Stork Challenge

[Julia Files Steger <jsteger@PEN.K12.VA.US>]

King Stork has been mentioned as challenged material.  It was
also challenged in my county by a parent because of the erotic
carvings on the table.  Ironically, Children's Catalog included
it and praised the illustrations.  The book was removed and as
far as I know, it is still on the shelves in "The Rose Garden"
(our name for the School Board Office).  This was one of those
cases where I could see both sides...the illustrations WERE
explicit, yet it had been suggested by CC as part of a core
collection. It was removed after the procedure for challenging
materials was followed.
