Great illustrations, obtrusive message.
It's a good message, and the illustrations are really captivating, but the story is very didactic. The message is very clearly "be yourself", and it hits you over the head with that.
Be yourself.
Try hard and do your best.
It's a good story, there's just not much to it. It's not enough to hold my attention.
Save up for things you need and you will succeed in buying them.
Repetitive, overly simplistic pointless robbery book.
There's no real point. Pretty much everything is interchangeable. The characters are interchangeable. The plot points could have happened in any order.
None.
Mom and Dad get a human baby.
It's a recognition of the important role that pets play in people's lives, understanding that just as it's difficult for children to accept new siblings, it's also difficult for the pets to accept it.
Babies are a big change, but a positive one.
Mundane walk through the forest with fanciful animals.
There's no real message. It doesn't really go anywhere. The animals don't really do anything. There aren't any characters. Nobody really has a personality.
None.
Babysitters are a last resort, but not scary.
I'm not really sure what the message is. It seems to have a message, but then loses it.
Don't be afraid of babysitters?
Frighteningly boring.
It's a good message, just not a very interesting story.
The dark isn't scary, but it's okay to be afraid of it anyway.
Tiresome book about trucks.
It's pretty simplistic. It kind of makes me think of Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things that Go, which my kid had a copy of and which was a lot more interesting than this book, but apparently a lot of fun to rip into pieces as well.
Trucks are awesome.
Odd imaginative journey to the ocean.
It's kind of weird. I've known kids to be into animals and possibly boats, but being into the ocean itself is kind of strange.
It's fun to imagine things.
Basically half a book about political responsibility.
Huh? I'm so confused. It's like they didn't even care enough to finish the book.
Don't run for mayor?
