During read aloud, three or four challenged books were read to the class, then we held a discussion about why these books were challenged,
and the over-all morals of the stories that were told. Many of these books were childhood classics loved by all of us! Here are some of the challenged books that we discussed, and what we talked about;
1) King and king by Linda de Haan & Stern Nijland
who want to avoid teaching their children about this subject.
2) Where the wild things are by Maurice Sendek
this book could be challenged by parents who don't want their kids taking influence from the Max, or simply parents who want to protect small children from nightmares.
3) Crow boy by Taro Yashima
