This is a book that I purchased about 8 years ago, shortly after the birth of my first child. We love the bright and childlike graphics, and the general story line, it is easy to read and easy to understand. However, before my children learned to read and I was still reading to them I would always omit the line on page 3 that goes as follows..."And, sometimes he caught a hard smack across his backside when he was late for dinner!." I find this line terribly offensive and completly out of context to the rest of the story...We have actually blacked it out, now that the children are reading their own books. I would be very curious to know, how in this day and age of anti-child abuse literature and people being better informed of the alternative forms of discipline available to parents, how did this book ever get published with such a blatant display of child abuse. I find it harsh and offensive.
