More banned books than you can shake a publicist at.
In 2006, there were 546 reported challenges to remove books from library shelves, most (61%) made by parents and most (71%) involving schools.
Topping the list was “And Tango Makes Three,” a tale of two male penguins parenting an egg from a mixed-sex penguin. Toni Morrison’s novels “Beloved” and “The Bluest Eye” also made the list, but the most challenged books of the 21st century remain J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” novels.
