Title: Please change paragraph in book out of respect for Sandy Hook School
Product review: I just read this book with my 3rd grader and my heart sank reading a paragraph in the book. With the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I plea to the author to change a paragraph in the book. I hope that this post is read and people agree with me to petition the author and publisher.On page 14 the paragraph reads: Eddie reached over and pulled Melody's ponytail. "Yeah, she could even be a murderer," he snickered. "I bet she murdered all the kids in her last class!"I think this is not appropriate to be in the book. This is a scholastic book that will be read by many children, including those that attended Sandy Hook Elementary school. The image of murdering kids in a class is now just so inappropriate to be in any classroom book.Please take the word "murderer and murdered and the like" out of all scholastic books.
