I don't understand. My younger sister found this book in the library and we checked it out. It was in the children's section, but it's about a man who shoves his wife down a hole, killing her, gets rich because of what he did, and then the hole is blocked. How is that a children's book? It promotes domestic violence and uses the word shrew to describe a character. Again, how is that a children's book?
