Title: Daddy is a deadbeat.
Review: This book would be really wonderful for kids who are going through a divorce where their daddy is a louse. The book portrays the father as a deadbeat who doesn't bother to show up for visitations even though he only has them one night a week. What does this book say that a divorce is? "A divorce meant that Daddy would not live with Mama, Ruth, and Dinah anymore."I know how impressionable kids are, how is this supposed to be an unbiassed view of divorce? In my mind this book is designed to taint the mind of impressionable children to make them wonder whether their daddy was going to treat them with the same carelessness as Daddy Bear. I would warn fathers who find themselves in a divorce to think carefully before allowing their children to read this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
