This book was funny, if a bit long. A cowboy only takes a bath once a year. He smells, is covered in dirt grime, bugs, and fungus. He takes his horse and his dog on a long journey to find the nearest river in which to bath and instructs his dog to let no one near his clothes. Once done with his bath, the dog no longer recognizes the cowboy and will not let him touch the clothes. They argue, the clothes get destroyed and the cowboy walks home

LibrarianRyan naked. If you have not guessed already, this book is BANNED. It is banned because of a naked cowboy. The reader doesn‘t see more than a bare chest and legs. “Inappropriate” body parts are always covered by rocks, animals, or other things. But that was not enough for some parents. They compared this book to a child‘s Hustler. That description does not fit at all, but it was still enough to have this book pulled from school districts far and 2y

LibrarianRyan wide.

Bumps in the Night (First Choice Chapter Book) | Harry Allard

pick

4 ⭐ This chapter book, in the form of a picture book, was wonderful. It is about a stork who thinks their house is haunted. They call up their friend Pig who says hire a medium and have a seance to figure out who the ghost is and what they want. Hilarity ensues. This book was just cute. It was a bit tongue in cheek with an older style comedy, that all worked well together. In the past this book was banned for occult teaching,

LibrarianRyan and disobedience to parents. I see none of that here. Okay, the occult yes, but not in a bad way. In a real way, in a fun way. What I do see if a little issue with consent that I would address if this book were in my collection, but overall, this is a wonderful story I would love to have in my collection.

Wild Saturday night plans, lol. If you didn‘t know you can use a hairdryer to get tags off your books, now you do. It has changed my life! #dollartreebookhaul

WarpedSweetness I didn't know you could do that! Now if only I owned a hair dryer. 6y

Skyrimir I discovered this in a page habit book group, not on my own! Credit where credit is due. So far it has worked for each sticker I‘ve tried. The glue heats up and voila! 6y
