Ella and I were browsing the kid book section in that retail store we're forced to go to in Wise County this evening. She got a Simba book...ya know, cute cub from the Lion King (had a Lion King poster in my room until I was 15:) But I digress; amidst the cutesie cartoon characters and tot inspired literature was J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye"...what the what? No child under, let's say, 16 should be reading that book. The story is dark and tragically depressing, not to mention the language issues. The main character is not one you'd want your pre-teen to idolize nor imitate. So, the powers that be should take a closer look at the Kid Lit, just sayin'.
