This post reminded me of when the 2007 Newbery Medal winner, The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron, caused an uproar among some parents and school librarians for its inclusion of the word "scrotum" on the very first page. Crazy then, crazy now!

Yep. And that scrotum was on a dog bitten by a rattlesnake.
