Nov 6, 2009
By Robin, Columbus, OH

"A must-read for any parent or caregiver - a real wake-up call to the effects our advertising soaked culture has on children. This book will pretty much scare the hell out of you in terms of what messages your children are getting. It was interesting to learn about things such as KAGOY (Kids Are Getting Older Younger) which is the idea that kids are far more sophisticated at a younger age than ever before. Barbie dolls are now for two-year-olds and sexy miniskirts and makeup are for girls as young as six. Schor makes quite a case against advertising to children, and one simple solution she pushes is restricting TV time for children."

"a great nonfic if you are interested in socially, marketing and/or child development. based on very specific marketing and advertising examples, to prove general points about the topics, and in some cases i didn't really get the connection. however, pretty solid overall and equally as frightening as the cover picture."
