Books are getting banned at an alarming rate, especially children's books. When you think banned, you think there's got to be something controvertial, mature, or upsetting in the books. But many of these books are classics that are beloved by generations of kids.
While kids might want to ban bedtime, bathtime, or broccoli, we're guessing that books like Charlotte's Web and Captain Underpants are things kids would rather celebrate than ban. We've compiled a list of frequently banned children's books that kids of all ages adore. So go ahead, be a rebel. Read a banned book. Books are magic, and knowledge is power.
