Title: This is my bestest review
Review: "This is my bestest hat" is a fairly typical line from this book. Though I understand that most first-graders are still learning grammar and often speak like this, I don't feel that it is appropriate in a book targeted at children of this age. Children learn by example and will pick up on the good and bad habits that they see and hear, so why would anyone want his/her child exposed to this constant stream of sloppy language? Sure, it's great when a child loves a book and learns to really enjoy reading, however there are literally thousands of good books out there that kids will love reading. Why bother with this one? If this were a television show rather than a book, no one would stand for it.
Is the review positive or negative?
