Notability[edit]

This subject passes the requirements in WP:BK as per the following reliable source reviews:

Jenks, Carolyn. "Book review: Grades 3-6." School Library Journal 39.10 (Oct. 1993): 123. Abstract: Reviews the book `Just Call Me Stupid,' by Tom Birdseye.
Roback, Diane, and Elizabeth Devereaux.. "Forecasts: Children's books." Publishers Weekly 240.43 (25 Oct. 1993): 62. Abstract: Reviews the book `Just Call Me Stupid,' by Tom Birdseye.
Weisman, Kay. "Books for Youth: Books for middle readers." Booklist 90.10 (15 Jan. 1994): 930. Abstract: Reviews the book `Just Call Me Stupid,' by Tom Birdseye.

I do not have access to the full source content to add a reception section to the article but the book has been the subject of multiple reliable sources reviews and therefore passes the requirements of WP:BK. --Captain-tucker (talk) 17:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I did a quick Google search and I didn't find anything beyond sales and self-referential links. Mosmof (talk) 21:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

further, Claudia Mills covers it in "Heeding Rousseau's Advice: Some Ethical Reservations about Addressing Prejudice through Children's Literature" of Ethics and Children's Literature (specified here), it was part of the study for the paper "A Look at How Books, Reading, or Writing Are Portrayed in Children's Literature Published from 1990 through 1995" presented at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (see here), as well as other studies ie. Windows and mirrors: secret spaces in children's literature (subscription required), part of an honors thesis - "Using Young Hoosier Book Award Winners to Teach Language Arts: A Curricular Guide for Elementary Teachers" (p.43), and a masters thesis - "Growing Letters", consequently i have removed the notability tag.
