From the ...hmmmm? column of the newspaper comes a story of a principal in Ontario who halted a reading at her school. Kevin Bolger was doing a whole school reading from one of his popular 'Fartsalot' story books and was a few minutes in when he was halted by principal Shari Brodie. Here's the whole story: would love to hear your take on this; censorship? too sensitive? responsible?
Sounds like a lot of hot air to me...
ReplyDeleteWhat's the flap about, anyway? These books are a gas!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....a couple comments. First, why didn't the principal preview the book & contents before having the author visit. Instead he wasted the author's time and disappointed 200 students. Second, Ben & I thoroughly enjoyed reading Sir Fartsalot at bedtime. It's hard to find books that capture Ben's attention. We laughed ourselves silly!
ReplyDeleteExcellent Nick - I knew I could count on you for some good ol' fart humour!
