Title: Warning - Worst Book Ever!!!!
Review: My 5 y.o. daughter insisted on buying this book at her school book fair. The librarian said it was a great book and other parents at the book fair remarked on what a great book it was also. However, when I read it to my 5 y.o. and 8 y.o. they both hated it - they did not get it. They thought the story was hard to follow and that Skippito was too weird. They did not understand the rhyming (if thats what you want to call it?)and both complained it lacked the telling of a story - plot. Neither child wants to read it again.I agree with all of the above and would like to add some complaints of my own. This book is highly offensive to me as a Mexican-American. It is demeaning and degrading in respect to the Spanish language and hispanic culture. Skippito is not a hero or a role model but a bad caricature of the Taco Bell dog.I feel bad that I exposed my children to this book that is not well written or funny. And I plan to take it back as a matter of principal.
Is the review positive or negative?
