The Caldecott Medal: Danger to Society?

This is a tongue-in-cheek report.

Can you believe these Caldecott-winning books? Endangering the youth of America, I say! I have evidence to prove it. How can you condone books that are teaching children to…

…engage in beekeeping without a head net…

…ride a bike without a helmet…

…maintain questionable firearm safety…

…eat off of a knife…

…boat without a life jacket (I think)…

…eat unsanitary snowflakes…

…ignore leash laws…

…hug bears…

…jump off bridges…

…burn leaves without a permit…

…this just looks dangerous…

…stand in front of cannons and yell “Fire!”…

…imbibe…

…engage in public nudity…

…kiss oxen…

…fly in a plane with little to no safety measures…

…tightrope walk without a net…

…trap lions illegally…

…encourage wild animals to ride public transportation…

Wonderful picture books, or a scourge to our society? What say you?
