Summary

If you’re going to demand that a children’s book be removed from shelves, at least make it a GOOD reason! Kathleen’s going down the list of kids’ books that have been protested, and the reasons will make you roll your eyes. Well, except for the last one… Then, Bethany is talking about a huge swath of land in the Canadian wilderness that’s famous for people losing their heads. Literally. (Would YOU go there?) But first, Bethany and Kathleen address a mistake they made that a Tastebud drew their attention to. Hopefully, everyone can learn something from their mistake.
