5yo ds appears to have been sent home with a reading book laced with innuendo. or maybe it's just me... please judge

Perhaps 1987, when this book was first published, was a more innocent age. I have put photos of the book on my profile. I was a bit when I saw the cover and then it got worse. Am I just be thinking too much into this?

"I must put something in the hole" said the king

I'll put a rabbit down the hole.

You have a dirty mind, me too, it made me laugh

I actually laughed out loud at that, excellent!

I think you should speak to the teacher or perhaps escalate it to the head. That will give them something to talk about in the staff room!

Seaman stain and roger the cabin boy.

Hilarious.

I just read on another thread a Roald Dahl poem about a woman who wished she'd called one of her sons Soggy Muff instead of Dave, but I guess it must just be my filthy mind...

thebody no one will remember as its not true! ;)

Ha ha ha

We have these at our school. The blue level books are a collection of the most awful stories I've ever been unfortunate enough to listen to.
Load of rubbish.

I think kids' authors do this deliberately to see what they can get away with. When she was little, DD had a counting book where there were certain numbers of items for a party (one cake, eight chairs, that kind of thing). One of them items was "two big jugs". We were pretty sure that wasn't there by accident.

Lots of books have hidden innuendos.
Its hard sometimes, trying to read stories with innuendos, and trying to keep a straight face.

We once had a book with 'and the man and the woman played in the shower and then they snuggled in bed all night long' and I thought

Hahaha! That was only a few years ago, I was 17 then. And I can assure you it wasn't a more innocent age
