Negative Positive
Title: Racist trash
Review: Actually, this book deserves a negative rating. This book is racist trash.As a white preschool teacher, I would never allow this book anywhere in my classroom. Even if I taught older children, I would still not allow this book in the classroom. It is unmitigated, racist trash. Until children are old enough to be critical readers and thinkers, this book only perpetuates racism. Of course, it is not designed for older children who have these types of skills.For all those people who rate this book highly, they are only showing their inability to understand how harmful early racist stories with their stereotypical illustrations influence young children. Racism is alive and well in the U.S.
