'And Tango Makes Three' Tops Most Challenged List, Again
And Tango Makes Three (2005), the true story of two male penguins who hatch and parent a baby chick at New York's Central Park Zoo, tops the list of the most frequently challenged books of 2010, according to the American Library Association's (ALA) State of America's Libraries Report, which documents challenges and trends in library usage.
The picture book by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell has appeared on ALA's Top Ten List of the Most Frequently Challenged Books for the past five years and has returned to the top slot after a brief stay at number two in 2009.
There have been dozens of attempts by school and public libraries to challenge and remove And Tango Makes Three from shelves, citing that the book is "unsuited for age group," and objecting to its "religious viewpoint" and "homosexuality."
