Title: Poor View of Parents
Product review: I felt that this book gave a negative light on parents. The mother was too busy to discuss Clara's intrigue about how bread rose, and then the father also dismissed her desire to learn and to read. He said that farm people dont have time to read. He also stated that dreaming was a bad thing for farmers. Clara also stated how she got tired of farm work. When Clara comes into contact with a librarian of a book wagon, the lady tells Clara to hop in the cart and they would essentially go tell her father he was wrong and Clara should borrow a book, and learn to read.This is exactly opposite of the life we are trying to create on our farm and can lead to bitter feelings toward work and parents. Reading is a priority here and probably among most farmers, but I feel that the way this situation was handled in this young girls life was wrong. Although my 6 year old read this and we discussed the attitudes exampled here, I will not be saving it for the little ones.
