Title: Wish I could give zero stars
Review: Wow. It's difficult to put into words how embarrassing and horrifying this book is. You will feel like an absolute jerk trying to read it to a child. Luckily I didn't have to- I attended a conference on educational literature that used this book as an example of demeaning racism in children's literature. A few weeks later, one of my children picked it up at a book fair and wanted me to buy it, based on the cover which is pretty cute. I tried to take off my educator lens and put on my parent lens to see if there was more to the book than what I'd been told, and it's just as bad as the presenters said. It's really awful. I can't believe the author has produced sequels to this embarrassing book. I can't believe her publisher thinks this is a good idea. Wow.
