2006—A patron of the Kitchener Public Library complained about this children’s picture book.

Objection—The complainant—a parent—said the book depicted violence, showed a bloody foot in one picture and was age inappropriate.

Update—After listening to the parent’s concerns, the librarian suggested that the parent fill out a “Materials Reconsideration” form. In the end, the library kept the book in its collection.
