Title: Worst Children's book I have ever read to my niece and nephew
Review: I purchased this book after my two year old niece picked it up. She was enchanted by the kitten on the cover. When I took the book home to read it to her and my five year old nephew, I was appalled by the blatant racism in the book. The reader is told to say the words in a "Spanish accent". Really? Which Spanish accent? I suppose not the accent of Spain, the originator of the language since the phonetic nonsense written on the pages seems to most closely resemble a mock Mexican accent. I see many people seem to like this book, and that's fine for them, but I am not comfortable having such an obvious racist item in my home.Additionally, there is no plot to the story. Skippy is kissed and adored by his mother, even though he blantantly disobeys her command not to go in his closet. What? Didn't she spend all day punishing him for not listening? There is nothing redeeming about this book at all.
Is the review positive or negative?
