Olivia Saves the Circus

2001Ian Falconer

3.2/5

Not a fan. I get that it's supposed to be comical ... but lying isn't comical and putting it into story form so that kids can also think lying (or story-telling) is comical is not my cup of tea. Or disobediently jumping on the bed to end the story.I could rant or explain, and maybe some day I will, about how I think it's kind of messed up and backward how parents will video their child throwing the most awful, screaming tantrums and then comment on how cute and funny it is. Or how hilarious it is for little children to swear. Facebook is full of it ... and maybe it's books like these that got us thinking wrong behavior is something to laugh about and not something to correct.But like I said, perhaps I'll save this topic for later and take a closer, philosophical look at it in a blog post.Ages: 4 - 8**Like my reviews? I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too. These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. I also have Clean Guides (downloadable PDFs) which enable you to clean up your book before reading it! Visit my website!
