Negative Positive
Title: I love the Bobbsey Twins. But skip this one.
Review: I have been a fan of the Bobbsey Twin series since I was a little girl. This Kindle version is the original, non-updated version. While most of the original books contain racial stereotypes (mostly around Sam and Dinah, the African American servants who seem to do just about everything for the Bobbseys), this book also contains lots of offensive content about the Romani (gypsies). Some Romani come to town, a bunch of stuff gets stolen, everybody assumes they're to blame . . . and lets just say that this isn't one of those books with the moral that stereotypes lead us to making mistaken assumptions. Honestly, I wouldn't expose children to any of this.And it's no loss, as the plot is incredibly weak.
Is the review positive or negative?
