Poorly written, not well thought out for younger audiences.

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018

In theory, this book should be Awesome!!! But, some of the stories are not well thought out. Who wants to read a story about how a young girl was approached and pursued at the park to become a uniquely beautiful model, by an unknown man. When her mother says, "no," the man convinces them both and makes her famous. Great...but, should you really be reading stories, to young gals, about listening to random men who approach you at a park...to be a famous model?? In another story, a talented female architect throws a Fit on an airplane and demands that the flight crew unload her luggage, forcing other passengers to wait an extended period of time while she is accomodated and put on a different flight. I think the author may have been trying to emphasise the woman's strong and decisive personality.. But, should we be reading young girls stories that glorify throwing privileged fits on public airlines? In another story, Frida Kahlo was made to sound that she was insecure until Diego told her that she was a good painter (and the story reads a bit like: she would have been nothing without him...that's pretty oversimplified). Anyway, great idea for a book, but very very poorly organized and written.

Ridiculous message. Poor writing.

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately the writing is just...okay. 10th grade level maybe, with vague summaries of each woman’s life. It’s not interesting or engaging.

That would have made me rate it like a 3 or 4. Here’s why it’s a 2: the quote in the front of the book. “When in doubt remember: you are right.”

I think to grow you must be self-critical - to a point. If you never believe you’re wrong, then you will never learn a damn thing.

Kinda bummed out

So, much like the other reviews, I purchased this book as a gift. Upon receiving it, I like the look and feel of the cover and pages, the different artists give this book a great visual appeal.

Some of the stories are very good and I quite like them, but some of the stories are lacking and do not tell a very inspiring tale. A story about Catherine The Great only has a single sentence about her "great" deeds.
There are famous quotes that are MISQUOTED! "One small step for man, one giant step for mankind."????
I will be giving this book as a gift, that I will be editing. I was more excited for the idea of this book I suppose.

I bought this for my 4 year old and it's perfect! Short, one page stories of kick butt women that reinforces to my child she can do anything! There are even stories about young girls, which was an added bonus because she saw the picture and asked me to read the story about the girl who is 'just like me'! I love anything that gives my child more confidence and shows her that the sky is the limit!!!

I purchased this for my two nieces, age 8 and 5. They really enjoy it. I see some people complaining that it's not really written for children, but I've had no problems narrating the text while keeping my nieces engaged. I even do pop quiz questions throughout the story to see if they're retaining the information, and they are. We all enjoy the artwork, and I've found myself reading some of the stories on my own. Yes, there is a story in the book about a transgender child, and that caught all of us off-guard, but the truth is, I'd rather my nieces know the realities of the world so they're not surprised WHEN (not IF) they meet a transgender person (and my sister agreed). By the time they are adults trans people living comfortably in their skin will be commonplace. Regardless of if you agree or not, that is our reality. The book is called Good Night Stories for REBEL GIRLS, not CLOSE-MINDED GIRLS. So if you want to shield your child from trans people, slavery, etc. I don't think this book is for you or your child. If you're open and truly want to educate your child on the great women of the world and their accomplishments, then I highly recommend this.

Stay away from the Kindle Edition! The formatting for this ebook is terrible. You are not able to use bookmarks and only one display mode is available. The worse part? I cannot close the book! I have to shut down my Kindle everytime I look at the book!

Great idea, terrible execution

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I understand why this book is so popular, the premise is right on point. I saw an ad for it, loved the idea, and didn't even think twice before dropping 35 bucks on this kids book, guess I should have done my research before being sucked in. This is one of those, whish I had that idea moments, where the authors are for sure going to make some good $ fast, but come on, at least try. Each page is more poorly written than the next with. I get that they are trying to squish some extraordinary stories into one page, but it reads so choppy and the amount of time I spend rewriting it in my head as I read it to my daughter so that it makes sense is frustrating. Lastly, and probably most importantly, being that this was written for kids, I am not thrilled about the way a lot of the messages are delivered. Many of these women have overcome some difficult beginnings, and while that message is important to deliver, there is a right and wrong way to explain it to a child and this book puts no effort or care into the delivery to children.

My 2.5 years old girl likes it!

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017

finally there is a story book to be suitable for girls! I read it for my 2.5 years old daughter on the many possibilities women can be, great read and I explain to her the different occupations alongside the stories, sometimes playing youtube to give her the visual understanding.

Imagine that when you were a 2.5 years old, the world of possibility is confined to who she interacts with. Imagine you live in a world that the women are mostly the care takers, without knowing that there are mathematician, dancers, cyclists, painters, politicians that are women and great!

This book is NOT inspirational. It is a terrible disappointment.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because it promised to inspire my four granddaughters. What a disappointment. This could have been a fantastic book, but the choice of subjects and the simplistic style lets it down. Presenting Margaret Thatcher and Hilary Clinton as role models to be admired is shameful and the story of the transgender child who knew she was a girl because she liked pink sparkly things made my hackles rise. This kind of stereotyping is demeaning. What a waste of money.

Shockingly inappropriate!!!! Beware!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this book to read with my almost 3 year old son, who has always loved stories. I was captured by the marketing showing how few books have female protagonists. I agree it’s important for our children - both boys and girls - to grow up seeing female and male role models and I was already conscious that so many of my son’s books had male or animal (often male animal!) leading characters. This book seemed an obvious choice to help even things out.
I was initially sceptical about the title, which to me seems a complete contradiction of what the authors are trying to achieve!! These are meant to be inspirational women who are meant to inspire and have the respect of the next generation of women and men. Being a ‘rebel’ has implications of being naughty! I don’t want my son to think that for a woman to succeed she has to be a rebel. This isn’t even the case for many of the women in the stories, many of whom got to where they were through ambition, determination and by working really hard. These are not ‘rebellious’ qualities in my view. I went ahead with the purchase despite this as I took the view that my son is young enough to not yet grasp the ‘rebel’ concept. The title would, however, put me off buying the book as a gift for an older child.
Moving on to the content, when we opened the book the first story we happened to see was that of Coy Mathis, a transgender girl. This book attempts to simplify and explain in childlike language each person’s story. I was shocked and appalled to see this one. The first line is “Once upon a time a boy named Coy was born. Coy loved dresses, the colour pink, and shiny shoes”. Two sentences later Coy asks his mum “When are we going to the doctor to have me fixed into a girl-girl?”. The story then has the doctor explaining about Coy being transgender, the parents winning a court case allowing Coy to use a girls’ bathroom at school and celebrating with “a big party... pink cake...and Coy wore a sparkly pink dress and beautiful pink shoes”. What?!!!!!! So from my 3 year old boy’s simple perspective what he learns from this story is that if you like pink and sparkly things that means you’re really a girl!!! Appalling stereotyping. This story made me furious. I’ve spent the last 3 years making every effort to avoid my son thinking that certain toys, clothes and colours are only for girls or only for boys. This story undoes that in one page as well as throwing further confusion into the mix by suggesting that if a boy likes pink and dresses the doctor will change him into a girl!! This is NOT an appropriate way to describe to a child what it means to be transgender!!
It’s such a shame as I love the concept behind this book, but I’m shocked at how poorly judged it is. It is now hidden away in a drawer and I will not be reading it to my children again.

Bad, bad, bad

I was so disappointed with this book. I read about it on the funding site and it sounded like such a good idea. However, I wasn't as disappointed as my daughter. Really, 1 page for each shallow, nonsensical story. It was great marketing hype using the plight of inspiring young girl to line their pockets in my opinion.

Marketing ploy! I feel cheated.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this book based on the number of good reviews! I can see this is a cleverly marketed book aimed at parents wanting to buy a book to inspire their children. This book rose from crowdfunding and I believe a lot of the people giving it 5 star reviews must have to do with the crowdfunding as I cannot understand why it has so many 5 star reviews.

The book design and pictures are very good! I have only good things to say about the graphics and pictures. But the English is poor in the writing. Having one page to e.g describe Florence Nightingale written in poor English i.e it does not praise the person and celebrate their achievements well enough. I could write:- e.g J.B, She was born poor and sold mangoes and became a famous mango seller. Well, first, there is nothing interesting and nothing to inspire in this.

This is no doubt a good idea. The pictures are great. The design is great. They should have found someone who writes better to write it!

Fantastic for everybody

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

An eye opening series of one-page, life stories that are written in a straight-forward and inspirational - but not patronising manner. I've used this book to discuss complex issues such as forced marriage and gender identity with my children (I have also used examples during my adult classes to help explain stereotyping, oppression, cultural influences and more) the single thing I would change about this book if I could would be to call it 'the goodnight book OF rebel girls' because saying 'for' sort of implies it's just for girls and I think it's a valuable read for anyone.
