Review of 'Should we burn Babar?' on 'Goodreads'

Pretty okay book. Definitely thought it would be more about debunking children's books with bad messages. Only Babar is presented this way, and that makes up maybe the first quarter of the book.

If you want a history of alternative education in the U.S. this is your jam. Otherwise, skip it.
