Title: Superficial with nice illustrations
Product review: The moral of the story: get a good illustrator to illustrate a book whose story is weak at best and try to make some money off of the author's celebrity. Bleagh. Laura Schlessinger's superficial story goes like this: baby cries and whines for different cool new things ("I Want It"), and the parent relents and buys them all. The point is *supposed* to be, Gosh, if you have everything you ask for, do you feel fulfilled? But, geez, Dr. Laura, way to write a story that misses your own point. I read this aloud to my six-year-old. She didn't get it--she though the point was, See, you should just buy me everything I want. OK, so maybe my kid may not be the smartest kid (I like to think she is, though), but you better hope your kid has graduate-level critical thinking skills to understand what Dr. Laura's message is. I was utterly disappointed and troubled!
