Title: Imaginative Execution, Poor Material
Product review: I agree with other reviewers that the "expressions" the authors have created in the fruits and vegetables used for the book are imaginative. However, I find the material totally inappropriate for young children. Too many of the "moods" are angry or domineering. I found myself carefully choosing word substitutions as I read it to my daughter. Her reaction to the book sums it up best - "There's no Mommy or Daddy here" - i.e. nothing comforting or warm.As our copy was a gift, it can't be returned. I will not donate to any local sources, as I am not comfortable with the material for anyone's children. Instead it is headed for the trash can. Hopefully the new book "One Lonely Seahorse" has a more positive outlook.
