All parent reviews for Where the Wild Things Are and Five More Stories

Adult

Where the Wild Things Are & 5 More Videos contains porn & is inappropriate
The full frontal nudity is extremely inappropriate in a video that has been made of a time-honored children's classic story. It was also extremely unnecessary in that it has nothing to do with the story. Why couldn't he tumble out of bed into the kitchen while wearing his pajamas? Scholastic has deliberately introduced what is, clearly, pornography, into a children's classic that was published by a trusted source. Is introducing porn to children now your new corporate policy, Scholastic? Is this your real goal now - to desensitize the kids to porn? By the way, I have a Masters degree in Library Science with a concentration in Children's Literature. There is no excuse for your having done this. Nor is there any excuse for the way you have marketed it as normal, especially to teachers, librarians, parents, and children who trust your company. Shame on you, Scholastic!
