Are you people crazy. This book should not be in the school library, much less read in class to the students age 10 and under. My son came home and started telling me parts of the story. He has been having bad dreams for a few days and I never understood why. I now know. I am extremely upset that this book is being read to children age 9 and under. I read the book in one sitting and was very disturbed. I will be discussing my concerns with the teacher.
