Swearing in year 3 reading book

[babyin2020]

My 7 year old in year 3 came home today with a new book for reading at home he opened the book and handed it to me. The first line of the book opens with swearing. Do you think this is appropriate?

Alas, he could only reach the small knob, which he really didn't want to stroke.

Waiting with bated breath.
...

Once upon a cunting time ...

Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross?

Bollocks

'Not the magic fucking key again, you little bastards' cried Mum

One of ds's infant reading books had a picture with those olde lettered wooden blocks which, if you looked at it askance, spelled 'wanker'.

But I'm guessing OP's kid's book says 'fart'...

Dick and Fanny from faraway tree?

Seaman Staines, Master Bates the the third character too rude to put to print .

Reminds me, my dad once got baby dd a book from the library on their weekly visit 'can you stroke the fireman's hard black helmet' snort

Imagine having to write cockapoo on the board. Yup...

Wait until they reach the PHSE stage (later in the year) about reproductive parts. Sometimes they even have to write them in books.

Come on OP - put us out of our misery!!!

Bollocks.

Of course it did

Alice was beginning to get fucking tired of sitting by her sister on the sodding river bank, and of having fuck-all do: once or twice she had peeped into the book the stupid bitch was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what the fuck is the point of a book,” thought Alice, “with no fucking pictures or conversation? I can't be arsed with it, frankly, I'm off after that bastard rabbit instead.'

Come on OP. Was it hell, bugger, bitch?

Or had a disgruntled pupil written shit, fuck, cunt, wank, bollocks inside the front cover? If so, your DS may have picked up one of my old text books.

🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant @WitchesSpelleas

Swearing not OK in kids books

If it said “tits like coconuts”. read the next sentence.

It may well tell you that robins like mealworms and blackbirds like cheese!

Or a character has a bloody thing that's actually covered in blood.

This reminds me of “That’s not my Santa, his sack is too rough” in that, er, classic children’s book “That’s not my Santa”.

Just here for the word

I love this version...

did he aye

My betting is that they were learning about new words formed by fusing together parts of existing words (known as blends);

Cockwomble
Knobjockey
Arsehole
Cocklodger

are all great examples
