Title: Good message, bad delivery
Product review: I think Dr. Laura's book has a good message, but she has delivered it in an unfortunate way. The books is about a child who cries and cries for certain items, and the parent gives in a buys them for the child--the message being "If you have these items, does it satisfy you." That is a fine message. However, I think Dr. Laura's writing is just a bit sloppy because that message gets kind of lost in all the crying and begging. This isn't great writing for children in the end; it's a good concept, poorly executed. The illustrations are nice, though. I decided to get rid of my copy of the book finally; the book is just too problematical. I wouldn't recommend that parents rely on it as a way of teaching your children this message, I think you can do better with real-life scenarios or hunting for better writers.
