Title: Just not for us
Review: We picked this up at a garage sale because it had a Caldecott Medal Award on it (and because it was $.10). Maybe it's just myself, my wife, our three-year-old and my parents, but no one liked this book at all. The beginning part was fun to read, but it went downhill fast. Lines like, "I'm brining home a turtle and a rabbit and a giant and a little dead mouse - I take it everywheres" left us a little weirded out, and not in a fun way. Then there is the page of almost nothing but, "dee dee dee..."The pictures are playful and whimsical, but the text is really lacking of the same creativity.I think that our son summed it up correctly when he asked, "Was that it?"
Is the review positive or negative?
