Negative Positive
Title: If you want your kid to end up on welfare read them this book...
Review: The message in this book is reflective of the overall tone of American society these days: "Don't have ambition or push yourself, simply settle for what makes you comfortable and you'll be happy." The book blatantly puts a negative spin on the characters in the book that are striving to push themselves outside of their comfort zone and grow in some fashion. I know some of you are thinking "hey man, it's a kids book, lighten up", but you know as well as I that our kids minds are very malleable at a young age and messages like this can and will shape their worldviews as they grow up. Imagine an entire generation of people who refused to push themselves because it was too hard or too uncomfortable. This nation rose to the top for the very reason that people pushed themselves and took risks that were uncomfortable. My recommendation: if you see this book, burn it.
Is the review positive or negative?
