For those of you with kids!
I haven' t been duck hunting in several years, but I thought I would post this on this forum. My son just got a book from a school book order called " The Magic Finger" by Roald Dahl. It is blatantly anti- hunting. The humans become ducks, and the ducks have the guns. The humans are told how the ducks have had all their children shot, etc. etc. The humans must promise not to shoot anything else, ducks, deer, etc. before ducks will stop threatening them with the guns. If you see this book anywhere, definitely do not buy it for your children. I will be contacting the book order company to protest this book, for what that will do.

Good for you man, tell them that there are alot of hunters out there with alot of kids, and they will never get our business.

Joe, How about more info on this book company; name, address, website and email. A few hundred emails might give them something to think about.

Joe, I just went to their website and found that we can email them using customer service as a parent. www.Scholastic.com They say they would welcome our comments, so let' s keep them civil and on target.

Thanks, Westbronco.
They make it a little tricky, don' t they? I left a pointed, but polite message. Wonder what their response will be. |
