I read this "banned" book as part of my libraries reading challenge for 2023. It was a very short, cute story. I am sure a child would enjoy this. The main character has a vivid imagination and was sent to bed without dinner, because he being rowdy. This is why it is considered as a banned book. Vivid imagination and starvation.

i randomly read an article about the most borrowed book at the NYPL and some other libraries. apparently it was this book so of course i had to satisfy my curiosity and borrow it to read as well. it was fun and short though i must confess it felt like any other children’s book (minus the message which seemed to say you’re gonna be rewarded for being “bad”, which is kinda realistic in some senses, but weird for a children’s book) so i don’t really see what the big deal is, probably nostalgia idk.
it made me chuckle a little bit so that was cute.
