I agree. Books for kids should still have good characters and a basic plot!Kmykel wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 12:18 I understand that this is a book for small children. Trust me, I get it, this is a product meant for children who have just mastered the art of toilet training. I didn't go into it expecting grand character development or plot. I wasn't even expecting much substance.
This was nothing. I've read books for this age-set before, and those had small plots and characters. Sesame Street has a whole library of books aimed at this market, and they all have fun illustrations and a basic story structure. And yet Toni is getting 4 star reviews across the board? What?
I wouldn't show this book to my kids, regardless of how young they were. They deserve better. Why are people going nuts over this thing? I just don't understand. The illustrations are sloppy, there are no morals, there is just nothing there. What is the appeal?

People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.
