Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss

February 09, 2021 by Banned Library in Picture Book

This book is just utter nonsense, so I make a bunch of stuff up.


Banned

2014 - Canada - Patrons complained to the Toronto Public Library that the book be removed, saying it "encourages children to use violence against their fathers." The library's Materials Review Committee decided to keep the book, citing as a reason for keeping the book, "The children are actually told not to hop on pop."
