Title: You no longer have to look up the word "didactic."
Product review: I'll admit to being a little suspicious when I saw the precious title on Amazon, and chose not to order this. But someone on staff (we are the Children's Department of a public library serving about 50,000) did. We are all sorry.The songs are dreadful. The "rhymes" often don't. The meter is appalling. And with obvious, hit on the head lessons, we have all the force and application of a morality play.If this were a parody, I would laugh, but the fact is that new librarians will actually try to use it! I can't imagine a more effective way to make a young person loathe the library than to make the poor thing sing, "I am a non-non-non-non-fiction book book book with lots of facts facts facts..."Any (well, almost any) children's song book will be of more use than this self-concious and desperate attempt at cuteness.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
