Didn't turn me into a raving loony racist (I mean, after all, I did marry an I-Tie!)- oh, and I loved the story of Little Black Sambo which they read us in first year juniors too. It is a Victorian classic story -what kids would not enjoy a tale of a boy outwitting some tigers and the idea of them running round and round until they turned into a pool of butter,imaginative stuff.
