is challenging the methodology behind the newest advisory from the
Rainforest Action Network that some of its childrens books contain
paper harvested from vulnerable Indonesian rainforests. According to
RAN, a test conducted in November of seven HC titles found three with
significant quantities of acacia fiber that is mainly sourced from
Indonesian rainforest and trace amounts in several others. At least
one of those books, Fancy Nancys Splendiferous Christmas, was printed before February 2012 when, according to HC, they began sourcing paper from certified mills.
