Congratulations to Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, co-authors of “And Tango Makes Three” which was released in 2005. They have once again, for the second year in a row, topped the list of most “challenged” books in public schools and libraries, according to the American Library Association.

They beat out such controversial books as Maya Angelou’s memoir “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” in which the author writes of being raped as a young girl; Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” long attacked for alleged racism; and Philip Pullman’s “The Golden Compass,” an anti-religious work in which a former nun says: “The Christian religion is a very powerful and convincing mistake.”

“The complaints about the penguin book are that young children will believe that homosexuality is a lifestyle that is acceptable. The people complaining, of course, don’t agree with that,” Judith Krug, director of the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The ALA defines a “challenge” as a “formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness.”

At blurbberry.com, we are quite impressed by this ‘win.’ To beat out Maya Angelou’s life story, another book by an atheist, and HUCK FINN… WOW!! That is a tough task, and gay penguins were successful. To celebrate the book, why not purchase it here for a nephew or niece!
