The list of books that are already banned might surprise you

There is much much more at the link.

Looking through the list I came across some that I don’t understand why they’re banned.

For example, Where the Wild Things Are you Maurice Sendak. That used to be part of my son’s bedtime ritual. Why was it banned?

Another one, The Diary of Anne Frank. Why banned?

Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss. Why?
