Title: A horrendous and dangerous lesson for children
Review: I wish I could give this book a lower grade than 1 star. For decades, children have been taught not to get into a car with strangers. To be careful of known and potential dangers. But along comes David Kirk, telling children that staying away from a known danger is just prejudice. It hurts the feelings of the one who presents the danger. How horrid!Miss Spider wants to throw a party. The bugs won't come, because spiders eat bugs. They don't refuse because Miss Spider is ugly or strange, but because she is dangerous. The story ends with them "realizing" that because she's nice, they don't have to worry about the danger.Recognizing danger and having irrational bias are two different things. Miss Spider's Tea Party blurs that difference and endangers children. Never let your children read this book.
