On Friday, The New York Times published a piece by an author who teaches English at a small Minnesota university in which he questioned whether it was fair to read his children classic books such as “Where the Wild Things Are,” “Swimmy,” “The Story of Babar,” “A Snowy Day,” and “Make Way for Ducklings” because they represented a “vanishing world” and he suffered from “distress caused by environmental change.”
Paul Bogard began by noting that friends and family had bestowed the classic books, including four copies of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar’” and three copies of ‘”Goodnight Moon” upon him for his prospective children.
