[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of more "bad message" books, we have one of those Golden books about Tootle the train. The moral of the story is that you have to stay on the track "no matter what." One day, Tootle finds a meadow filled with flowers and butterflies. She-- *gasp*-- goes off the track to frolic. Big mistake. Next time, when she tries to go back to the meadow, the other trains and train company are waiting in the meadow to catch her. Tootle is embarrassed, and now understands that she must stay on the track "no matter what." What kind of message is that? [/quote] heh, I remember reading this as an assignment in a course called Histories of American Childhood in college. And yes, the "message" was what we discussed, as it relates to the era in which it was written (1940s).[/quote]
