Negative Positive
Title: Mediocre at best
Review: I found this book to be the literary equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. It's overtly didactic and singularly uninspired. Published in 2002, and it already seems dated. The illustrations are likewise nothing to get excited about. Nothing fresh or exciting here either, but the illustrator thinks enough of his own work that every page of the book has his signature in it--having his name on the cover wasn't enough, evidently.
Is the review positive or negative?
