TARGET: Elementary - Olive's Ocean >

[John S Bennett <jsfgbb@JUNO.COM>]

Fellow librarians:

Olive's Ocean is a must-include in any school library.  The instances of
profane language are very minimal whereas the text is well written, the
theme quite timely, and the overall work very beautiful.

Frankly, there are many YA and children's books out there with much worse
language in them than Olive's Ocean.  Besides, I always thought our job
is assess the product as a whole, not to focus on any one aspect of the
work......
