Sometimes I wonder if we make kids afraid of things instead of curious about the world around them. To get my point read this book. I do not think it has the connotation that the author was going for. Margo wants to do things, but warning from mom make her afraid. The nice surprise at the end, didn’t seem to go with the rest of the book. It's an odd title. Not bad, but not one that will be on library shelves in 20 years.
