[LM_NET] How do you handle the nakedness in this book?

[MARY KATE CULLINAN CULLINAN <CULLINANMA@EDU.ELIZABETH.K12.NJ.US>]

Hi everyone,

I am processing books that came in this summer and we have so little new books that 
I ordered, among other things, all the Caldecott Honor books.  I have come across 
some books that have religious overtones but the book I am really worried about is 
In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak.  How do you handle the kids reactions to 
the boy's nakedness?  Any complaints from parents?  Do kids deface the book?  Is it 
really worth the trouble I anticipate to put this book out?  Thanks for letting me 
know how you handled it in your library.
