You can always trust Scholastic Books to tempt young readers away from God. Just show a lot of kids in a fantasy world who have super-powers and fantastic martial arts skills, and are at the same time really “spiritual,” and you’re good to go.
I reviewed a couple of these “Spirit Animals” books in 2015. It would be a very good idea to find something else for your children and grandchildren to read.

This is culture rot, perpetrated by the publishers of Scholastic Books. And it’s not nice.
What folly! I thought that we, as a society, had left behind all of this nonsense and lived in an age when reason had replaced mysticism.
Leftid “reasoning” is mysticism.
Works like a charm, you just make it up as you go along.
And you can probably get college credit for it, too.
I’m quite certain that’s true. A fellow I knew years ago (his sister was a friend of mine) took as two of his college courses Gambling Statistics and Astrology. I’m not sure whether the two had any relationship to one another. :\
Did they help him make the dean’s list?
LOL! I never thought to ask!

Oh, fap! I’ll fix it right now.
Scholastic Books should be called Unscholastic Books. They in themselves are a good reason to put your children in Christian school or home school. They are poison mixed in the ice cream.
For many years, there have been trusted sources of educational materials for children. Perhaps these companies were reliable at one time, but that is not to say that these sources are the same as they were in decades past. When I was five years old, I was handed a copy of the Weekly Reader, which was mostly simple news for a grade school audience, such things as updates on the nascent US manned space program, and developments such as the positive economic impact of the St. Lawrence Seaway. But even in those days, there was a political agenda running through Scholastic’s materials. As an adult, in my prime, it struck me that some of the dire predictions I had been taught, regarding the effects of the timber industry, etc. had never materialized.
Fear mongering, and indoctrination were employed, all the way back into the early ‘60s, providing a generation of youngsters conditioned to comply, instead of thinking for themselves. All this, from a name parents had grown up trusting.
When I was a little kid, the Weekly Reader was something we looked forward to getting. Not Now.
I noticed that as the years passed, the presence of an agenda became more and more obvious.
I am sick unto death of agendas.
Me too. Even as a child, I had the feeling that there was an ulterior motive behind some of the materials we were given.
Some kids are more aware than others.
I had a healthy level of skepticism, from early on.
Me too.
“ Me too.”
Can I trust that? 🙂
absolutely.
Can I trust the “absolutely”? Thats the problem with skepticism is that it never ends. 🙂
