POPSTin Tin banned in England? Books are reflections of their times- an innocent illustration in one decade might be regarded as prejudicial and offensive in another. While I've never been a fan of Tintin myself, the group does need to admit that the illustrations in the comic/graphic novel are not unlike the illustrations in other books that came before and after it. One of my favourite contriversial books would come decades later- William Steig's Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. A sad but later heart warming story that can teach us how we need to be careful what we wish for... as well as what animals we choose to depict policemen , food the animals should eat and parents should always watch over their children ... but it's such an innocent story! ... and don't get started on Maurice Sendak :(

POPSMaurice Sendak's modern-day fairy tales (story on NPR) It's always struck me as interesting that classic fairy tales are full of children in danger, while modern children's literature tends to avoid those themes. Seems to me, many children probably feel that their lives are very dangerous, so I can understand the appeal of old-fashioned, scary stories. Maurice Sendak's appeal may be similar.
