Bobby's Got a Brand-New Car by Zidrou, Sébastien Chebret
2.0

This is a nice story of a kid buying a car and making sure his parents get home safe. It has beautiful color illustrations. I say this but there is a recurring theme that I don’t like. Bobby has a “magic card, the one that pays for everything”. I think this is a bad lesson to be teaching. We don’t know if it’s a credit card or a bank card, just that it pays for everything. We need to teach children about money from an early age, and using a “magic card” is an irresponsible lesson to teach without knowing the origin of said card.
