I just had a first grader return the book "Arthur's First Kiss" by Marc
Brown.  Her mother wrote a long note discribing how inappropriate the book
was to be in the library since it enourages all the behaviors parents do
not like as in cruel teasing, cheating, lying and disrespect.  It also
mentions "Spin the bottle"... now mind you I don't necessarily like this
book, or feel that it is a great read, but should it return to the shelf
as the mother does not want it to do?  How might you respond to this
parent?

Thanks in advance,
Maureen
