/lit/ - Literature

I love this book and these stories, my dad read them to me when I was little and I bought it to read to my daughter. I wanted the original text, however, in the story of how the leopard got it's spots, the text had the N word. Ouch. Obviously I omitted this, but it was still a bit shocking. If I'd known, I may have bought a revised edition.

I'm white, my daughter isn't, but it made me very uncomfortable.

I know the word is said in pop culture and movies, but I wasn't expecting it in a childrens book. Maybe get a revised edition, if you say it, it will lead you down a rabbit hole of questions to answer.
