Where Willy Went

Product Information

Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy follows good and evil forces in pursuit of a magical ring. The book has been banned as 'satanic' in some areas and was even burned by members of a church in New Mexico in 2001. The controversy is ironic, though, as Tolkien was a devout Christian and many scholars note Christian themes in his work. This story is about a sperm named Willy. It is a humorous and simplified version of 'where babies come from'. The story begins by focusing on Willie, the sperm, and moves on to how Willie lived inside Mr. Browne but moved into Mrs. Browne. Willie swims in a race to get out of Mr. Browne and enters into an egg where he lives and grows and grows until he is bigger than Mrs. Browne's tummy. This story has simple statistical information, diagrams, and pictures of a growing fetus. The story ends with how Willie disappeared and became Edna, a little girl, who had similarities to Willie. The book "Where Willy Went" is a challenged book because it discusses the process of conception at a younger age level. The book is geared towards the ages 5 to 6, however, I don't think this is an appropriate age to discuss this subject within the classroom. Although this is an important subject that needs to be taught, I think it is important that the students parents have the option to teach them. I believe that if the book is used within the classroom, parents consent must be given first. Ranked number 2 in the 1990-1999 most challenged books in the USA for its portrayal of a gay couple one of whom is the father of the boy they look after, the book featured in the 2008 US Presidential Election when it was revealed Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin had tried to get the book removed from a local library. As an adult, I liked this book. I felt it was a new and interesting way to convey the same old "birds and bees" information. However, as a parent, I do agree with the banning of this book in public school libraries. I feel this book is too graphic for any and every child to be able to pull off the shelf. I think this book would be much more appropriate if used with parental consent and while I do not feel that this book provides incorrect information, I think that it should be the parents choice as to when and how their children come across this type of information.

This tale “about first love, first sex, and everything in between” saw the author have his invite to talk to the students at Manchester High School for Girls withdrawn. The Head Teacher considered the book’s themes to be “inappropriate”, although the author believed it was the prospect of dealing with irate parents that had influenced the Head more.

If you thought this book was about explaining to your child why you've hired a butler or housekeeper, well, you'd be seriously wrong. Likely something funded by Microsoft, Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? by Tom O'Connor and Jill Dubin is a book written to explain to your kid why you have an in-house computer server. If you're from the cloud generation, you might be more familiar with the server in your office. You know, the one that never seems to be functioning properly and gives all of your colleagues access to your files so they can "accidentally" delete them. Apparently people used to have these in their homes, but according to the book, daddies only bought them if they loved their wives. So, if you didn't have one in your house growing up, then you might be disappointed to hear that your parents didn't have the best relationship. Charlie, our narrator, describes scenes from his life in a series of letters to an anonymous person. This book was banned in the USA for reasons of: homosexuality, sexually explicit, anti-family, offensive language, religious viewpoint, unsuited to age group, drugs and suicide. Gosh. The first of the hugely successful Harry Potter series, in which Harry discovers he's a wizard, and enrols in Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry. It was banned and burned in many US states for promoting witchcraft, and also banned in some Christian schools in the UK. Maybe they didn't realise it is just a story.This article about a children's novel of the 2000s is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. This Japanese manga series created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata was banned in several Chinese cities including Beijing. The official reason given for the ban was to protect the "physical and mental health" of students from horror material that "misleads innocent children and distorts their mind and spirit." The race, and "the nasty," are accomplished under a yellow blanket, so there's really none of that "when a mommy and daddy love one another, the daddy puts his penis . . ." stuff. We see an interior of Willy burrowing into the egg which then divides and grows into a familiar shape. And, voila! A babe is born to happy, happy parents. Nope. This sperm named Willy is indeed on the banned book lists. I'm guessing that though this copy does show wear and tear, the wrong people (book-burners) just haven't stumbled upon it . . . yet.
