Oz has a great but very simply philosophy - that everybody had a heart, that everybody had a brain, that everybody had courage. These were the gifts that were given to people on this earth, and if you used them properly, you reached the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold was a home. And a home isn't just a house or an abode..., Its people. People who love you and that you love. That's home. - Ray Bolger aka the Scarecrow

Benjamin came home from school with this book. I am furious!!!
Holy Cow! I can completely understand that. Why in the world would you send that home? Why in the world would someone write it for that age group anyway? Is he trying to spoil everything for us?
Is it the kind of book that brings it up to discount it. Think of the Movie Elf where he talks about people thinking that Santa isn't real and totally makes that sound lame. Maybe same thing?
So how did you handle this? And why would they do that anyway?
