A child's fable about coming out,
By Kynn Bartlett (Tucson, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pokemon Tales, Volume 2: Come Out Squirtle! (Board book)
This is a great little book that introduces Squirtle's problem with "coming out" -- a metaphor for the closet that many gay and lesbian people find themselves in due to societal pressure. Unable to play with the other boy pokémon until he comes out, the young Squirtle finally decides to be happy and proud of who he is, and unafraid to let the world know -- and he is greeted by a colorful rainbow, the most well-known symbol of gay pride.Pokémon's creators deserve kudos for handling this sensitive issue in a very supportive, queer-friendly manner that's subversively appropriate even for young children. Hooray for Squirtle!

Our child loves it!,
This review is from: Pokemon Tales, Volume 2: Come Out Squirtle! (Board book)
Our 3-year old loves this book, and 'reads' it to himself from memory (since he can't read yet) whenever he can.. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make reading more 'fun' and enjoys seeing their child interact with pokemon, yet may not feel he or she is old enough for the more 'mature' aspects of this phenomena.

Teaches kids a good lesson,
This review is from: Pokemon Tales, Volume 2: Come Out Squirtle! (Board book)
I think this book is very good for little kids. In the book, Squirtle is afraid to come out of it's shell. Squirtle's friends Poliwhirl and Charmander try to get Squirtle to come out, but Squirtle is just too afraid. When Squirtle finally does come out, he gets to see a beautiful sight. This book teaches kids that even though they might be afraid at times, taking chances is better than being a coward.
