Title: I read lots of not "politically correct" stories to my kids
Review: I read *lots* of not "politically correct" books to my child but not this one, b/c of the "spanking issue". It is not at all obvious to me - as an adult - that the father would not really spank her as one reviewer suggests.For some kids these may be ploys to stay up but for many night-fears are very real. I would not want to introduce more fears (spiders, etc.) for a child sensitive on this issue. I don't think it wd/ help a child over-come them either. (I don't read any of Rosemary Well's "unready" books as I don't want to introduce issues but I think they cd/ help someone overcome them.)It's not just that this book was written years ago, it is that it seems to have been written without kids in mind. My daughter would not laugh at the mention of spanking!
