Get ready to be a little ticked off.  Or a lot, if you are like me.

Publishers in the UK are censoring children’s books not for sexual content or violence, but for real evil.  Brace yourself.  Ready?  They are protecting your children from (gasp) sharp objects and walking alone – IN BOOKS.  Yup. 

So, no child in Britain will be exposed to the horror of sharp sticks, fire-breathing dragons, perching on ladders, or heating elements glowing red. 

Well, thank goodness that someone is protecting my children!  I mean, silly mother that I am, I might have read them books about dragons, swords, painting the stars on ladders, or any number of things.

Now let’s understand what the real enemy is here:  IMAGINATION!  GASP!

Wouldn’t want those kids to start thinking, dreaming, learning!  Just turn the TV back on.  They won’t see anything bad there.  It’s the books that are dangerous.  You could lose an eye!
