I am happy about the feedback i am getting on this issue. Thanks to everyone for being so insightful. Howver, i wonder as librarians and media professionals, have you all come across books that might have depictions or slants on myths, folklore etc that you aren't very pleased with? If so why and how does it affect your criteria for your collection if you have or had one in the library. I am especially curious about this becasue i am taking a class and our discusion last week touched on Native American folklore and problematic depictions in Children's books.
