I know exactly why this book was banned.  This book is so funny.  The waiting dog is waiting for the mailperson.  That hand coming though the slot is just soooooo temping, and the doggie, can’t wait. It takes a bite.  And that bite keeps going.  This is a HORROR picture book and I loved every minute of it.  This is the dream of the dog eating the mailperson bit by bit.  The book actually has a warning on the cover from the publisher about having the guts to read this book.  Well, one is going to see the guts.  I loved this, but it might be a bit much for some children.  This is definitely the reason it was banned.  However, I love it, and there are a bunch of kids who will love it too.  This book shouldn’t be banned, it should be read, just check your triggers.
