Negative Positive
Title: The red tree
Review: First I would like to say 'read' is a bit too strong a word for what amount's to a picture book with a sentence on each page.So having looked at this book a few times, (more than once because I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing) I have to say that I was shocked at it's thoroughly depressing content.It might work for an already mentally disturbed child in a 'light at the end of tunnel' kind of way. But what on earth a regular happy-go-lucky kid would experience from looking at this book is beyond me, apart from nightmares that is.When a child is shown this book the first question is goingto be what is depression? Depression being a concept that should be as unfamiliar to children as tax returns or hangovers. So I cannot understand why anyone would consider this a book to 'entertain' children.
Is the review positive or negative?
