I believe that those of us who produce children’s books have an obligation not to feed our children “pretty little lies” that will ultimately poison them. And those of us who are educators and reviewers have an obligation to call them out whenever we encounter them. <br /><br />CINCO DE MOUSE-O! is full of stereotypes of Mexican people. "Letting kids be kids" does not include giving them things that will hurt them or others.Beverly Slapinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822325956522105620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794406356268252166.post-70430026302719831142018-04-29T18:28:30.395-07:002018-04-29T18:28:30.395-07:00I can't wait to read this to my students.

I feel that adults bring baggage to the reading of picture books meant for a younger audience and forget to let kids be kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
