And don't forget the nursery rhymes: Three Blind Mice, Ring Around the Rosie (The Bubonic Plague, I think), There Was An Old Lady Who Lived In a Shoe, to name just a few.

I can only venture to say, that as a "conservative" myself, I wouldn't read it to my small children without accompnaying discussion about our beliefs. I also think that most "conservatives" feel defensive a lot of the time, and are almost looking for opportunites to defend themselves. Having said that, I would like to ask your forgiveness, on behalf of my fellow "conservatives", ahead of time for any negative feedback you may encounter. Sometimes in the pursuit of protecting one's beliefs, the "conservative" movement gets carried away and loses track of what it is defending and instead becomes inflamatory. Hope you don't have to experience any of that unloving behavior. Well, I am assuming that since you have decided to go ahead and read the book, you are prepared for any possible back lash.
