Where Willy Went

Product Information

As an adult, I liked this book. I felt it was a new and interesting way to convey the same old "birds and bees" information. However, as a parent, I do agree with the banning of this book in public school libraries. I feel this book is too graphic for any and every child to be able to pull off the shelf. I think this book would be much more appropriate if used with parental consent and while I do not feel that this book provides incorrect information, I think that it should be the parents choice as to when and how their children come across this type of information.

The book attempts to teach kids to the difference between boy parts and girl parts, but rather than explain how each is used in reproduction, it explains how each is used to urinate. Not exactly the answer to an "age-old" question, as advertised. Instead of teaching kids why boys stand and girls squat, the book's illustrations give kids far too many game ideas involving urine.

This article about a children's novel of the 2000s is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. Hilariously funny, warm, and playful, this is a picture book that appeals to both children and grown-ups. Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy follows good and evil forces in pursuit of a magical ring. The book has been banned as 'satanic' in some areas and was even burned by members of a church in New Mexico in 2001. The controversy is ironic, though, as Tolkien was a devout Christian and many scholars note Christian themes in his work. This is a well know and well loved classic. I chose it because it makes people think about the ideas of freedom of speech and censorship if such an innocent children's book could be banned." Ruth, North Yorkshire.Nothing to get worked up about, though you know they will. All it's going to take is the wrong kid pulling Willy off the shelf, asking his mom if he can take it home, and the manure will hit the fan. He is indeed a sperm, which means that somehow, in this Bible-banging town in which I live, a children's book about a sperm is residing peacefully alongside the books about pokey puppies and determined train engines. How can this be? Does this mean that somehow, despite those determined to censor, and remove, we can all just get along? Oh Lord! This book is awesome to talk about reproduction with kids between 6 or 7 years (i guess). I'm the kind of person who thinks that you must talk about sex to the kids since they're little, giving the themes according to their age, and this book is awesome for that purpouse. Isn't si explicit but is clear enough. With all the kids books out there about pooping and peeing, you'd think children were obsessed with using the bathroom. According to The Long Journey of Mister Poop by Angele Delaunois, though, they're not so much obsessed as they are curious about where it comes from.

But people like me who have no interest in hiding how sex and reproduction work will enjoy it. A modern fairy tale with a difference. Having turned down every princess paraded before him, the prince falls in love with another prince and the story ends with them kissing. In the USA, the book was taken to court but the judge dismissed the case, saying "Diversity is a hallmark of our nation”. A sequel, in which the happy couple adopts an orphaned girl, also not surprisingly, caused controversy.This is a "where babies come from" book that's more silly than informational. Willy is a single sperm that's bad at math, but good at swimming. When he beats the other sperm to the egg he turns into a little girl who is also bad at math but good at swimming. A little dumb, but fun. When he was 12 he made a model of a galleon out of a walnut shell which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London.

Where Willy Went by Nicholas Allan | Waterstones

A picture book that shows, albeit in a humorous way (the sperms wear swimming goggles), how human conception takes place. It is ironic that the author is a strong Christian but still found his book challenged. Not everyone objected. One online review read “I learned a lot from this book” – this came from a 22 year-old. Perhaps he should have read a book like this when he was younger. This week is Banned Books Week, the week we celebrate having the freedom to read whatever we want. Did you know that even children’s books are challenged sometimes? It’s true. You might wonder why anyone would try to ban a picture book or a young adult novel. It turns out that there are a whole lot of reasons, including parents’ desires to protect their children from things like magic (the Harry Potter series), scientifically accurate sexual education ( Where Willy Went), and even depictions of people at the beach ( Where’s Waldo?).The book was banned by schools and libraries in the US in 2009 yet based on a true story of two gay penguins hatching an egg in New York’s Central Park Zoo. School authorities in Charlotte, North Carolina, Shiloh, Illinois, Loudoun, Virginia and Chico, California all banned the book. The American Library Association reports that And Tango Makes Three was the most challenged book of 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the single most banned book of 2009 in the US. This story is about a sperm named Willy. It is a humorous and simplified version of 'where babies come from'. The story begins by focusing on Willie, the sperm, and moves on to how Willie lived inside Mr. Browne but moved into Mrs. Browne. Willie swims in a race to get out of Mr. Browne and enters into an egg where he lives and grows and grows until he is bigger than Mrs. Browne's tummy. This story has simple statistical information, diagrams, and pictures of a growing fetus. The story ends with how Willie disappeared and became Edna, a little girl, who had similarities to Willie. Considered to be one of the best ever young adult novels, it comes fourth in America’s list of banned books 1990-2000. Dealing with high school gang culture, the main challenges were on the grounds of sexual content, violence and bad language. One school board noted the instances of causes for concern: “For Christ’s sake, bastard (24), Jesus (numerous), Christ (numerous), goddamn (10), hell (numerous), son of a bitch (4), shit/bullshit (5), queer, homo, fairy, etc.”. While arguing the book should not be in the library, the school accepted it could be easily bought in any local book shop, which might have suggested that banning the book was pointless. The American Library Association keeps a list of frequently challenged children’s booksbased on reports from schools and libraries across the United States. In many cases, children aren’t able to have access to these books at home, so it’s crucial that schools and libraries are able to keep books in circulation and preserve access for all children. And if today’s youth are anything like I was as a child, knowing that a book has been banned or challenged just makes it infinitely more compelling.
