Title: All Talk, No Action
Review: This is probably the worst children's book I have ever read, and as an elementary school teacher, I have read more than my share of children's books. There isn't any plot to speak of, and most of the book consists of cutsey characters delivering long new-agey monologues. It is my understanding that the secret to writing good fiction is "show, don't tell"; in other words, your narrative should make clear the points you are trying to make without your explicitly stating them. This book violates that rule on every single page, with excruciatingly boring results.
