Children's book at top of US banned books list races up Amazon charts

Its denigrators will be kicking themselves: a children's book about two male penguins who raise an orphaned chick has shot up Amazon's bestseller charts after it was named as the title which people have tried hardest to ban in the US.

This sounds very interesting...However, I am of the same opinion with Roberts..

I don't doubt for a second that you were the first to notice that.

Damn, makes me wish I had come up with the idea myself and made a fortune. I probably have enough gay friends to do the research for it. Oh well, somebody else made good money with American sexual hypocrisy. Always good to open a new niche.

I have always thought there are children's books that adults like and think should appeal to children and be good for them, and books that adults don't like, with the predictable results that we see.

I've bookmarked it on amazon. I intend to buy it and donate it to my local library. Mwahahahahahahahahaha

Book banning and "shudder" burning, in my mind, are akin to fascism.

Book Banning in the US is not uncommon. There have been many books people have tried to ban over the years. Mark Twain's Adventure of Huckleberry Finn. Catcher in the Rye, and tons of other books. Some wanted to ban Harry Potter books.

Frank Baum's Oz books were infamously banned for years, another milestone in The Land of Free Speech.
