Teach your children about "ugliness",
By Jeff (Covington, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A to Z (Board book)
A to Z has a big problem in my opinion. It is a very simple children's book with some very cute illustrations of animals (A to Z). Each animal is engaged in an action that also begins with the first letter of it's name (e.g. Kangaroos Kissing). There are lots of made up animals, I'm assuming to account for the rarity of animals beginning with "Q" and "X" etc. The part that I don't like is the fictitious "Uglybirds" whose action is simply "Being Ugly". The illustration that goes along with this so-called ugliness is very disturbing. The "Uglybirds" have atypical bird features that seem intentional. They are green and purple, and have messed up feathers and big bulging eyes and are very "Different" from the "normal" birds in this and other books. Upon reading this, my wife and I agreed that we would never repeat this section while reading to our daughter. Although I do intend on teaching my daughter about ugliness (Racism, Violence, contempt, etc.). I think that it is a quality that shouldn't be used to describe physical appearance. When my daughter encounters a person who is physically unusual, I hope that I have instilled in her the values to disregard what others might find "Ugly". I know that some might think that I'm overanalyzing such an innocent entry in a child's book, I think that parents need to be more careful about the messages that they are sending about ugliness.

My son loves Sandra Boynton Books,
By Amy Battison (Centreville, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A to Z (Board book)
This is a great book which my son loves to read. It teaches him his ABC's plus the pictures are great. We have almost all of Sandra Boynton's book collection. Highly recommend it.

Thanks for the giggles,
By A Customer
This review is from: A to Z (Board book)
Sandra Boynton's brightly color books have rhymed their way into our family's heart- and this is one of her classics. We can recite most of her bouncy upbeat board books without even opening them. If I could meet this author, I would throw my arms around her and thank her for the millions of giggles her whimsical books have brought to my children.
