Maurice Sendak was a brilliant American children’s author Vinnie which makes the fact that this has been challenged and banned so many times since it was published, especially aggravating.😒

Why has it been banned? I don’t understand.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Mainly because of religious/supernatural elements in it. Also, some parents objected to it on the grounds that it encourages rebellion against parental authority.
LikeLiked by 1 person
The way I see it, it’s a book. The intention is not to stir up rebellion but to tell a story.

People can just be ignorant Vinnie.

Is that book ‘banned’ too? I haven’t read it, but it looks great for kids.

Sadly it’s been one of the most widely challenged and banned children’s book. It’s an American classic and winner of Caldecott Award which is given out once a year to the most outstanding picture book as well.😒

Seriously weird how some things end up being banned for no single good reason: and a children’s book at that. Totally strange 😞
