Negative Positive
Title: Not the way I want my kids talking.
Review: I picked up a copy of this book for my kindergardner on the recommendation of another Mom at school. We have been trying one book from just about every easy chapter-book series we can find. I was very unimpressed with this book.Junie uses poor language skills, not something I want to encourage in my son.Junie says that she "hates that Jim", also a word not allowed in our house.I could go on, but my dislike of this book comes down to the simple fact that she does not provide a good model for my son. There are plenty of wonderful, engaging books for this reading ability that don't dumb down. Magic Treehouse and Arthur Chapter books are so far our favorites because they are fun while also maintaining the type of language and character behaviour that is positive. We work hard to help our kids do and be their best, why offer this negative example to them?
