Todd's TV

Rating

Television is bad. Because it is.

Who is this book written for? Kids won't get it, and parents who "need" it would hate it. Is it just preaching to the converted?

Todd's parents (horror of horrors) let their kid watch TV. And then it comes alive and threatens to adopt him. They freak out, and Todd passive-aggressively tells them to turn it off. His life is then magically perfect.

It's just insultingly condescending, and boils down to a circular argument. This book will convince nobody. Don't read this to my kids.

My video review goes into more detail.
