Unpopular take: I think the old censorship of "Where the Wild Things Are" was actually justified

My mom was a teacher who told me the book would scare kids too much, and after reading it to my nephew last week I saw three nightmares come out of it, has anyone else dealt with a banned kid's book that maybe deserved the ban?

Three nightmares in one week is pretty concrete evidence. Were the nightmares specifically about the monsters themselves or more about Max being alone and leaving his mom?

@tessa_kelly those three nightmares say it all. Maybe the old folks were onto something about Max being way too alone in that story.
