I took my 6 yr old grandson to the library Saturday. While there I was looking through some of the books and found "Let's Get a Pup". I wanted to see what all the controversy was about. Interesting to see that a child bouncing onto and off a bed is considered inappropriate. The child isn't even under the covers!!! I thought it was a delightful book - and the message is a good one. If I had a grade school, I wouldn't hesitate to get it - unless, of course, your school feels tattooed mothers who wear no bras and Dad's who scratch their bellies offensive.

This book is by an Australian, Bob Graham, and was released here under the title of Let's Get a Pup. In 2002, it won the highly coveted Children's Book Council of Australia's Book of the Year Award for Early Childhood. It must be in nearly every pre-school, primary and public library in Australia! Have never heard of any objections to it. Am going to share this thread with my local colleagues - they will get a great laugh - and also with Bob himself!
