"The overall concept of this book is that books equal knowledge, and not understanding a book can lead to catastrophe. This is a little extreme for children books I feel and might even scare young readers. Since the pictures are still from the 1950's, they are simple and cartoon like, which might not be appealing to all kids as the backgrounds are covered in pure whiteness. The advice Petunia gives is creative, but when the animals start getting injured and the truth is not being told, the book becomes a turn off to the readers, and the resolution comes too late to rectify or save the book."
"Charming. Would be good for a library-intro, why reading is important type of storytime, if the group can sit through it. Love how Petunia's gets longer and longer the wiser she thinks she's getting."
