March of the Banned Penguins

Let my Penguins go!

March of the Banned Penguins

It's an old story, but it's making news again. And Tango Makes Three, the story of a pair of penguin dudes who foster an egg to hatching is again, the ALA's most challenged book of the year.

What's funny? It's a true story.

Reality: Book banners doth protest too much.
