I guess it's good for kids who like tractors. It's really basic, which makes it easy to read to a small child.

It kind of sucks that Mama still has to be in charge of a lot of things even though it's supposed to be her night off.

Kids probably shouldn't just randomly take home animals that they find in a pond, whether or not they're kittens. They might have rabies, or something worse.

These kids are just a frigging pain. They just will not shut up about the stupid dolphins and whale.

All the kids wave at the train, except not the caboose because they're bored by then. And I can't blame them.

I want to like this book, because it has a good message, but I can't get past the way the parents implicitly treat Gerald.

It's kind of inane. I'm not that impressed by the storyline.

If I didn't know better, I would think they were intending to write something about the "entitlement generation." Because, seriously, that's what this turns out to be. "I can't decide who is the best! Everybody gets a prize!"

Their friends would as bored hearing the story as I was reading it. Their friends wouldn't care.

How big is Bear Country, anyway? They took a fricking road trip around it in another book, complete with their own version of Mount Rushmore and Niagara Falls, and now they've got the Official Skate Park in somebody's cow pasture.
