Where Willy Went

Product Information

This was one of my very favourite middle-grade book series when I was still middle grade, and I was surprised to see it on ALA’s list. The series follows smart bookworm Anastasia through her pre-teen and teen years. The series does have a lot of references to realistic aspects of teen life: drinking, sex, stuffing one’s bra…Like Judy Blume, Lois Lowry has the distinction of appearing more than once on this ALA list. Her book The Giveralso appears. Frank and funny . . . Takes young children, skipping and whooping, out from under the gooseberry bush Independent Lccn 2004040913 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Openlibrary OL3301703M Openlibrary_edition The American Library Association keeps a list of frequently challenged children’s booksbased on reports from schools and libraries across the United States. In many cases, children aren’t able to have access to these books at home, so it’s crucial that schools and libraries are able to keep books in circulation and preserve access for all children. And if today’s youth are anything like I was as a child, knowing that a book has been banned or challenged just makes it infinitely more compelling.

Where Willy Went - Penguin Books UK

A picture book that shows, albeit in a humorous way (the sperms wear swimming goggles), how human conception takes place. It is ironic that the author is a strong Christian but still found his book challenged. Not everyone objected. One online review read “I learned a lot from this book” – this came from a 22 year-old. Perhaps he should have read a book like this when he was younger.This story is about a sperm named Willy. It is a humorous and simplified version of 'where babies come from'. The story begins by focusing on Willie, the sperm, and moves on to how Willie lived inside Mr. Browne but moved into Mrs. Browne. Willie swims in a race to get out of Mr. Browne and enters into an egg where he lives and grows and grows until he is bigger than Mrs. Browne's tummy. This story has simple statistical information, diagrams, and pictures of a growing fetus. The story ends with how Willie disappeared and became Edna, a little girl, who had similarities to Willie. Hilariously funny, warm, and endearing, this is a picture book that appeals on different levels to both children and grown-ups. This article about a children's novel of the 2000s is a stub.

Although the information the book is relaying is associated with sex, the book was not written in an inappropriate context. The characters within the book make it easier for a younger mind to grasp the concept of conception. Although this is a serious subject, the playful characters make the subject more appealing and easier to understand to a young mind.

The book is about a sperm named Willy who lives inside Mr Browne. Just like other 300 million sperms, Willy races trying to catch the prize, an egg. [2] The first of the hugely successful Harry Potter series, in which Harry discovers he's a wizard, and enrols in Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry. It was banned and burned in many US states for promoting witchcraft, and also banned in some Christian schools in the UK. Maybe they didn't realise it is just a story. Not exactly a how-to guide to get your kid to properly use the bathroom, Little Monkey's Big Pee-ing Circus by Kees de Boer has likely inspired little boys and girls to miss the toilet in attempt to create their own "Big Pee-ing Circus." The book attempts to teach kids to the difference between boy parts and girl parts, but rather than explain how each is used in reproduction, it explains how each is used to urinate. Not exactly the answer to an "age-old" question, as advertised. Instead of teaching kids why boys stand and girls squat, the book's illustrations give kids far too many game ideas involving urine. I Wish Daddy Didn't Drink So Much by Judith Vigna is a Christmas story told by Lisa, who seems to want to rain on her father's boozy parade by demanding he actually go sledding with her like he'd promised. Doesn't she know parents are always making promises they have no intention on keeping? Sounds like little Lisa needs a wakeup call.

Alice was banned in the province of Hunan, China (1931) for the portraying animals acting on the same level as humans. Oh Lord! This book is awesome to talk about reproduction with kids between 6 or 7 years (i guess). I'm the kind of person who thinks that you must talk about sex to the kids since they're little, giving the themes according to their age, and this book is awesome for that purpouse. Isn't si explicit but is clear enough. He wrote his first novel when he was 14, a story about a murder in a school. He sent it to Macmillan who, although they did not accept it, asked to see his next. Nicholas studied painting at the Slade School of Art. During this time he had his first radio play broadcasted by BBC Radio 4. He then completed an MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. This picture book is based on the real-life experience of Jazz Jennings, who is now a teenager. Jazz knows she is a girl who loves pink and dressing up like a mermaid, even though her family is a little confused until they visit a doctor. From there, the book explains what it means to be transgender with simple language and appealing illustrations. Unfortunately, it’s pretty easy to guess why this book has been challenged by parents in some areas—but in response, there have also been supportive readings of the book organized across the U.S. The Watsons Go to Birmingham – 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis
