Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes

This is one of the ALA's most frequently challenged books. According to their website, this is due to "sexually explicit and offensive language ", but I have no idea what they are talking about. I don't think there is even a curse word in here. And the only sexual thing I can come up with is that the parents in the story are being extremely giggly and flirty with each other and it's described as 'morning sex behavior', as in - the parents had recently had sex and were acting silly.
