Title: I wouldn't waaannt to read this to a child
Product review: Dr. Laura's newest children's book sends a terribly mixed message to children and parents. When Sammy's mother takes him shopping for a birthday present for another child, he throws a temper tantrum in the store because he wants everything he sees. Instead of taking him out of the store, his mother goes ahead and actually buys all the toys for him, hoping that he will come to the conclusion that having everything won't make him happy after all. While Sammy may realize that things don't make him happy, he also has found a way to get what he wants. I can't help but wonder which lesson the child hearing this story will actually come away with.
