[LM_NET] Me Oh Maya

[Debbie Reese <debreese@UIUC.EDU>]

An evil Mayan priest, whose name is Caca-Poopoo-Head?! 

That is clever, but not funny. I'm going to get Me Oh Maya, read it, and will post 
a review. 

Where is cultural sensitivity and respect of Scieszka, or any of the journals who 
reviewed it? Or librarians and teachers who use it?

It is that double standard again...  Would the kids in the Time Warp Trio pop in at 
the Vatican and would they meet an evil priest named Caca-poopoo-head? Not likely.
