THE CLAMBAKE MUTINY.

By JeromeBeatty Jr. '39. New York: Young ScottBooks, 1964. 68 pp. $3.50.

Humorist Jerome Beatty should be investigated! He has written a children's book that's downright (perhaps Downeast would be better) dangerous. Sedition! Call out the HUAC! Here is a story that's imaginative enough to tickle the funny-bone of any redblooded American child; and what does it preach? Revolt! Beatty would have the young reader pity the succulent lobster. And even worse, he glorifies the lobster turning against human admirers who love these crustaceans dearly. Let's boil the water, melt the butter, and put an end to such nonsense! Give the kids a treat too - The ClambakeMutiny. The longer they dislike eating lobster, the more for you.
