I have often helped others w/challenged books.  Now I have a question.  We
have the graphic Big Book of Weirdos.  It is short bios of authors, artists,
inventors, historic people etc.who are "mentally unstable".  It is
recommended for reluctant readers and the information is good.  One of our
teachers wants it withdrawn because if you look very very closely you might
see cartoon nudity.  My co-worker (former elementary teacher) was ready to
withdraw until I showed her that it has high recommendations.  Do you have
this book?  Is it a problem?
