Review title: Sure, go ahead & scare the kids...
Product review: My 3.5 yr old son HATES this book. It was a gift, and I didn't look at it before someone else read it to him. I asked him if he wanted to read it a couple of days later. "No, it scares me. Its a scary book." I put it back on the shelf and forgot about it for a couple months.When I did pick it back up and began reading it... What a piece of propaganda. Humans BAD. Animals GOOD. Humans so BAD this invented bear never finds a mate. The prose isn't really that great, unless you're really down with the message. "Childrens' environmental literature"--- good grief, run a mile. I'm not suprised Nestle picked up the author-- she does write a viewpoint well.Don't get me wrong. We need to be careful with our use of the world and clean up after ourselves. But please, we can do all this without scaring the preschoolers.Those who proudly view humanity as intrinsically bad and the rest of creation good will find it appropriate for their children.
