I don't know why this lovely book has been challenged and/or banned. It is absolutely beautiful. In fact, so beautiful and appealing that it was a Caldecott Honor Book in 1982 (yay Maurice Sendak!!!!)

I LOVED reading this book to my children when they were smaller. Recently I gave them each their own copy for their Hope(less) Chests, so that they can read it to their own children.

My children are all in therapy and take strong psychiatric medicines due to their fear of being exchanged by goblins for an ice changling and being carried away. I am positive that the reading of this book in their formative years had nothing whatsoever to do with that, however.

By the way, I am drugged and in therapy too. Keeps the drooling at bay.
