I understand. I think it could be a good one, though, with some work. Thanks!

I know! I thought that was so misleading for a child. Next thing you know they're getting kidnapped because they try to "talk it out." Thanks for your thoughtful comment!HopeW wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 13:40I couldn't believe that scenario ended the way it did in a children's book! Not only is that a ridiculous outcome but a very unsafe one! I understand the idea behind the moral of trying to get along with everyone but even suggesting that to a robber could get you injured. Depending on the age range I would rather my child not read about a robbery; however, if it was a subject in an older child's story getting help from law enforcement is definitely the way to go! Based off the review this is the biggest issue I would have getting this book for a child.shannonkate8 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2020, 13:38 As someone in the Criminal Justice field, I find it sad that an opportunity was missed to show how citizens and law enforcement can work together and get along. I hope the author and others will rethink this scenario for the future!
This was a great review and for now I will pass on this book. Although, tt sounds like it could be much better so if improved I would give it a chance.

I don't blame you. I like the idea, but it definitely needs work. Thanks!Miller56 wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 20:09 Thanks for the review. This book sounds like it has potential and a lot of opportunities to provide great guidance. Unfortunately, it sounds like the book didn't really get the messages that may have been intended across. Sorry you didn't enjoy it. I think I will pass on this one.

I do hope the author makes some revisions. Thanks for commenting.Rayasaurus wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 21:19 It's so unfortunate that this book didn't meet expectations. However, I agree that the idea of games to get the children involved is a wonderful idea. Thank you for the review!
