to be considering complaining to the school that my Y2 dd has a Katie Price book as her school library book?

[Quis]

My 6 year old dd has come home from school with a Katie Price 'Perfect Ponies' book as her school library book for this week. She has chosen it and obviously she has not got my preconceptions about the author.

Not wanting to unfairly judge I have skim read the book and it is dire. The entire story is about girls arguing, and being nasty to each other. The girls say things like 'You cow' and accuse each other of 'slagging off' people.

AIBU to not like dd reading this kind of portrayal of girls? Why are Katie Price books even in the school library?

I know I am being a bit precious and have definitely let the identity of the author affect my judgement, but still...

I venture to suggest that the school library is not run or overseen by a librarian. If it had been I hope this would not have reached the shelves. Not sure I'd want it in my secondary school library, either. School libraraies really should be run or at least overseen by qualified librarians.

Ooooo a zombie thread for Halloween.

It is well known that Katie Price has a ghost writer, so I would say YABU to complain on those grounds but YANBU to complain about content if you are concerned.
