I think because of the nature of his writings is where he gets a "BUMM" rap (pun intended).
Here is what a book seller had to say:
Children's bookseller Kate Colley, of Bloomin' Books at Caringbah in Sydney, said: "I'm not a prude, and a lot of the book is fun. But after reading the whole thing, I couldn't sleep."
Ms Colley cited the stories of a grandmother eating her own excrement, a child setting a cat on fire, and a mother sending her child across a six-lane road to be run over by a truck.
"This is the first book I've refused to stock in 15 years," she said. "But some of us have to take a stand . . . I don't think children need this, with so much violence going on."

All the stuff kids love, the more gross the better. Great thing about kids is that they dont confuse fiction with fact. They are smart cookies who watch Tom and Jerry die like a thousand times an episode and get that it aint real.
Kids dont need wrapping in cotton wool.
I have roared laughing at shows like "The Young Ones" who blew one another up, drilled and nailed one another and it didnt harm me one bit.
Im getting pretty fed up with these so called do gooders who are potentially stunting my childs reading enjoyment because they deem it inapropriate, how about leaving it to the parent and child to decide.

You can do what you want with your kids I don't give hoot, butt these books do not belong in a beginning readers library whatsoever............
I'll let the pics speak for themselves:
Note the child is smashing the cat with a bat............Where's Red when you need her?
No you ruin your kids way of thinking and I'll ruin mine in my own way...Deal. Just keep this trash out of my grandkids school library.
This is not a good source for a beginning reader, which is what these are supposed to be. Sheesh where do you go from beating a cat with a bat and your grandmother eating her own crap????
You say you support these books and people need to just shut up and let it be put out there for any child to read..........
You say that without even looking at what they contain.....Right?
But you want them to be in the PUBLIC school library .........WOW
Typical liberal............

Just because I deem them fit, dont make me a bad parent, infact im complimented on how well mannered and polite my children behave and SHOCK HORROR they watch the simpsons and other crap like that because they take it at face value and just a bit of fun.
Im happy you look out for your grandkids BTS, all im saying is we parents should be allowed to make our own judgements for our own kids. End of the day if the kids are that young they will have a parent with them whilst choosing library books so will get vetted, much like a dvd would.

Ok.........fine. Keep them on your shelf and I'll keep my Cat in the Hats on mine..........Deal?
My point is they do not belong on a public schools shelf. Granny eating her poo is out I would think.....
Or do you really think my 6 year old grandaughter should have access to this subject matter? Shouldn't a parent have a say in what their child is taught at public schools that they pay for?
I ask again, if she should have access to this, whats next? Brother screws sis? Brother taps brothers bumm?
That's all I have to say.

ahhhhhhhhhh so thats a little different.
We dont have a school library as such. I thought you meant a public library where you go in your own time.
Our primary school uses the following.
The Magic Key is a series of books published for children as part of the Oxford Reading Tree, from Oxford University Press. The books are co-written by Alex Brychta and Roderick Hunt, and primarily follow the lives of three children, Biff, Kipper and Chip Robinson, their parents and grandmother, and their dog, Floppy.
In the TV show Floppy wears around his neck a collar with a golden key upon it. The key is magic, as the title suggests, and seems to do some strange things whenever Floppy wishes for something. It transports the children and sometimes their grandmother, to exciting adventures, such as dealing with trolls in an underground cavern, being characters inside a computer game, or finding a fountain of youth. In the books the key is kept in a box and Floppy does not go on all the adventures.
As well as Biff, Chip and Kipper Robinson, 4 other children also appear in the stories and occasionally find themselves in the adventures caused by the Magic Key. They are: Wilf and Wilma Page, Nadim Shah (whose mother and father own the local corner shop which features in a couple of the stories), and Anneena Patel.
The books are aimed at children from 5 to the age of 8, and form part of the English language syllabus in the National Curriculum, designed to help children learn to speak and read Standard English.
The books were developed into a Television series, consisting of 26 episodes, each featuring a different story, plus helpful hints towards teaching children good use of English.
The series was shown as part of the BBC Schools segments in the morning, then transferred to CBeebies in 2004, and shown during 2004 and 2005.
My child is nearly 11 years and likes gross as much as fluffy so I feel for her age the Griffiths book are fine but for a child under 9 or 10 years no.

I remember over 13 years ago we were on our way to America and I bought my then 7 year old a set of books at the airport to read on the long journey . (I think they were a collection of Fart-a-rama books) Anyway they cleverly explained a heap of scientific principles by comparing them to nasty functions of the body bloody hilarious. So my boy was occupied on a long journey, reading and learning principles of science all at the same time. Nothing bad in that !!!!!
psychologically and developmentally speaking, children over the age of four understand whts real and whats not. If you're not sure about your own child wait until around the age of six. Children in this age group (as long as there are no other traumas going on in there life like physical or sexual abuses) understand that hitting a cat over the head in real life is wrong - but in a book it's effing funny as hell. And so do I just quietly:wah: As chezzie has already stated children understand fact from fiction (sometimes even better than adults) I would be more worried if a child who's development is at piont and didn't laugh at those things - I would be looking at "why not?" .
BTW our school library has whole collections of these disgusting books:D Kids don't take them seriously so why should adults.
I think adults (some ) do not understand that children very early on understand irony, absurdity, nonsence and the just plain stupid. I think I would leave some of Roald Dahl books and stories to an older age group though especially "Boy" the man had a hellish childhood and children do understand that it is real. But how he coped by writing of those years later (Matilda would be one of those books ) is brilliant and children do understand it.
The whole view of Andys books are to entertain children . I think in some areas of society we've dumbed kids down so badly and sanitised their surrounds that it has had an impact on them......................I think we are seeing the results of it today.
I had some friends that I used to take the kids to see on a regular basis. The husband used to constantly threaten to tie my boys up and bury them in the back yard. He'd tell them to sit on the couch and not move, he'd then walk out of the room and storm back in and with a big booming Sussex accent shouting "right where's that rope!!!!" Scared the crap out of me, but had the boys in fits of uncontrollable laughter.
When the boys used to complain about not being kissed goodnight yet, I myself used to put on a german accent and pretend to be a big german mountain woman coming to kiss them goodnight and smother them to death . Instead of calling out "I'm coming to get you" I'd say "I'm coming to kiss you my little strudel-arbens" in a menacingly way. Had them in fits of frightened laughter and they'd hide under the covers ............they complain these days that i dont' do it anymore.
I'm sick of people too frightened to make their kids laugh we're turning into boring old farts i reckon!!! I never see anymore people doing that "I got your nose " trick or just generally chasing kids around a backyard threatening to chop off their heads ......................sad, really sad.
Hey Megan, talk about coincidence, hubs came home from work with the first chapter of a book for my eldest to read. He is working on doing a hostel up at the moment in Betws y Coed which is in the Snowdonia National Park.
Heres a link...Its beautiful... http://www.croeso-betws.org.uk/
Anyways hes been their on and off for over 6 months and gets on well with the guy managing it and he told hubs about a book he is writing.
Its aimed at children, I think the animal is called a Schnook and its eyebrows have some powers, he has had some illustrations done but isnt happy and so my eldest is quite a good drawer and she is going to read this first chapter and then give her version on what the schnook should look like, ( through the eyes of a child-the reader).. If this book ever gets published, id love to send your boys a copy.
