DD is 6. The book she came home with today was called 'Predators'. It was a bit graphic from the outset I thought, but it was pg.14 where I called a halt:
"Some of the herd (of wildebeest) run away from the river. The hyenas follow. The hyenas quickly target a young wildebeest. The calf is scared. It tries to rejoin its mother but the hyenas cut it off. They pile onto the terrified animal and tear it to pieces."
Not exactly pleasant bedtime reading, is it? DH disagrees and reckons it's only right she should be learning about nature, altough I've gone ahead and written a bit of a snotogram about it in DD's reading record anyway.
Is it me?

AIBU?
and over-protective to think that this school reading book is inappropriate?
