Amazon CustomerReviewed in Canada on May 31, 20201.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS THE PITZ - WAS EXPECTING BETTER
My wife and I really enjoy the Fab 5 series on Netflix, it is uplifting and entertaining. We were excited to find out that Karamo had a children's book and we're happy to spend $25 in hopes to receive a thoughtful and inspiring story. The book itself is beautiful, wonderful illustrations and well made. The content on the other hand is garbage, a fragmented story with no resonating message besides repeating over and over ' you are perfectly designed'. Karamo plays a thoughtful and intelligent character, I can not believe that he would be associated with a book like this.
I cringe when my 16-month-old son asks me to read it to him. I have contemplated giving this book away to another friend who recently had a child but I could not bring myself to share that kind of anguish with a loved one. This book is destined for the recycling bin or a gift to a person who I do not like!
