Hi,


I too have had my copy of IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL on the workroom shelf for a=
 couple of years. Great reviews, even was nominated for a Maine State Award=
. BUT, when I received it and read it, I realized that nothing was mentione=
d in reviews that spoke to the cartooning done in the book. In our middle s=
chool, a student would get detention for drawing the same type of picture. =
As good as the information is, the illustrations took away from the serious=
ness of the subject. Yes, the kids would love it, but I knew the parental u=
proar would be awful.


I still have the book in the card catalog. I have even included the title i=
n a newsletter to parents about =22sex-health=22 books that would help them=
 with the children and the =22big talk=22.


Yet, the guilt of having it on the shelf has driven me crazy. My principal,=
 school nurse and high school librarian agreed that this was a good course,=
 but I still can't feel good about what I've done.


Your thoughts?
