Thanks a LOT, Emily Post! by Jennifer LaRue Huget
1.0

Age: 4-8 years
Art: watercolor

The artwork was beautiful and perfect for capturing action and emotions. It's unfortunate that it was paired with such a jumbled and misleading story. While the story does encourage creative thought, it is to spite their mother and her attempt to control her slobby, destructive children. I think the problem was putting the story in the misbehaving child's perspective without much depth to the child's personality.

I think a caregiver would be horrified after reading this story which promotes disrespect, slobbiness, and mayhem. And where did those ghosts come from?
