Title: A Difficult Waste of Time
Review: I guess I'm in the vocal minority on this one, looking at the other reviewers. But wow, I just read this book to my kids for the first time and it compelled me to review it. Not only was there little flow to the book, but I found the story line to be a little disruptive to children, despite the well-intentioned "moral" at the end of the story. Reading outloud gave me the impression that Eastman was trying too hard to be the next Dr. Seuss, but words were misplaced, and just when you got into the habit of rhyming, he changed course and stopped. A ridiculous little book IN MY OPINION. If you want to read a good Eastman book, stick with "Go Dog, Go!", but leave this one at the library...
