I asked him why and he said he was only allowed to pick from a limited section which were all baby books so he stopped looking
I remember being in the fifth grade and STILL having to do that in my classroom. I'd read all the (interesting) books by third grade and had to reread them all.
I was a strangely compliant child considering my stubbornness and didn't even think to say anything. Teaching your kids they can read anything regardless of what the librarian says truly does a lot more than you'd think.
(In retrospect, I really wonder why I didn't say anything...it was another classic gifted-vent: the teacher was supposed to talk to the kids during reading every week and somehow only got to me once...)
