Title: disappointing resolution
Product review: The underlying message is one parents and kids can relate to: being tempted by all the goodies at the store. However, the way the authors dealt with this issue is disappointing. Their solution is to have the parents buy something for each child at every trip to the grocery store. Bribery, essentially.When I read this book to my daughter, we talk afterwards about why this is a really bad solution to their problem: it teaches the cubs that they should get something every time they go to the store, it DOESN'T teach the cubs to be aware that the store wants to tempt them to want stuff so their parents will spend more money, and it's completely lacking in empathy for the other parents who appear in the store with their own gimmie-afflicted cub at the end of the story.This book has value as a discussion tool about what NOT to do.
