A study of
attitudes about reviews of children's books found that librarians
and teachers wanted stereotypes pointed out because children should
have accurate information about other cultures. However, a book
reviewer's experience suggests that editors may reject reviewers'
objections and advocate for authors' freedom of speech, even when
offensive or harmful to children. Contains 27 references. (TD)
