NO
I read this book to my kids when they were young. Today, it would be college level reading, but all Americans should read it:
https://books.google.com/books/about/Red_Fox_and_His_Canoe.html?id=qLaOzgEACAAJ
Little Red Fox gets a big canoe from his father. He goes out fishing. Forest animals see his big, empty canoe and want to ride in it. In his good nature, Red Fox let’s them in, one by one. The canoe gets overcrowded and breaks in half, and all Red Fox’s “friends” abandon him. He is left to paddle home in a piece of his broken canoe.
Yes we need a round up now.
