Query: Anti-American!

My 8 year old son was required to read this book by the New York State Common Core Curriculum. The illustrations in this book are of planes dropping bombs, tanks roaming the streets, people expressing their fear of dying in the war and the librarians quest to keep her books safe....and armed American soldiers as the "bad guys". Ultimately, the library burns to the ground (although they did remove the books and hide them). I despise the message that this story leaves with children - American soldiers are there to destroy the property and hurt the people of Basra. There is no mention of why a war took place and the images are too disturbing for some young children. Shame on Jeanette Winters for writing a book so biased against Americans.
