Recommending children's books and other resources for babies through 6th grade and occasionally just stuff.
How's this for a blog rating? Liz over at A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy had this fun little rating link. Appears to be a freebie service offered by a dating service. Although as A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy discovered it has an interesting definition of what a bad word is.

"The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), U.S. poet
"No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond." C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), English author
With fond memories of years in the library as a kid, I finally indulged myself late in life and earned a Master’s in Library Science with a focus on children’s and electronic services. Of course, this was after about 15 years where I actually used my business degree and “counted beans”, but then remembered I liked books much better, especially children’s literature. In addition, I have spent a few years in an elementary school library after which I put on a read aloud program for 1st through 3rd graders. Here I am offering my knowledge of children’s books and resources to help those looking for something special or just a fun read. Don’t forget to check out the book resources listed for other ideas.

Mine had a General Audiences rating also. But I'm not surprised at that - I know I'm pretty tame compared to some of my compatriots. I did get gigged for breast 2x and b*****d 1x. I think the breast part was probably linked to my daughter's walk for cancer research. The other was probably for something I said about some war mongering policitian. I can live with that.
Mine was a G rating as well, but the device must have only read the current page because a previous page did say THE BAD WORD. I did mention breast too, but my reference was about robins. To me, real offensive words are those that speak badly about people. Thus, racial slurs fit into the category of most offensive kind of bad words.
