Books for little ones

Thoughts on this book? I am not asking for opinions on the site, which is what I am sure someone will do because its a conservative site, just the book.

That's a bit much for a little kid's book.

Why not explain to the little ones that they can no longer be killed, because the are niw persons. That should givw them self confidence.

My response?

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World.

Education has always been the means used to indoctrinate young minds to whichever beliefs a society advocates. The Nazi's did it, the Communist's did it, the ancient Greek Spartan's did it. Our Progressive elements have been doing it since they realized the need to infiltrate Secondary and Post-Secondary systems.

Why do you think we have so many kids demanding safe spaces, censored speech to protect them from offense, Identity and Victimhood politics, virtue signaling, etc.?

This website you posted exemplifies a desire to start this process as early as possible is all. :coffeepap:

No child is interested in that stuff, let alone a baby who can barely tell the difference between a square and a circle.

The website doesn't. It is just reporting on the books and the author of the site is as much against such books at a young age as I, and obviously you, are.

Niw persons?

Here's a great review on amazon of "A is for Activist" << which I can't say outloud without eyerolling:

M is for "missed the mark"

I really wanted to rate this book more highly because I absolutely love the author's intention. What I like about this book is that it introduces concepts of social justice, human rights and equality in a way that is easily understood, and also leaves tons of room for parents to include their own narrative. If you are looking for a creative and original baby shower gift that will amuse, this is definitely it. That said, there are several things to mention that keep me from giving it a higher rating.

First, one of the purposes of the book is also to teach the alphabet, so when the example words used to represent the letter don't actually include the letter being taught, that is entirely confusing (for example, on the page for H, the author says that H is for jicama). Just because a letter makes a similar spoken sound in a word isn't enough, and seems to defeat the purpose.

Second, the illustrations of several pages are a little negative. Many of the faces are frowning, scowling or angry. True, those are pages talking about tough topics, but it could be a lot for a small child to take in, and carry a negative message about what it means to stand for social justice.

Finally, and perhaps most disappointing, this book is printed in China. Considering the author is making a case for equality and social justice, it doesn't make sense to me to send this book out for printing via unfair and cheap labor in a communist country.

I think one quote of Adolph Hitler best sums up what I think of this book...

"He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future."

Kids books - The little engine that could, The little red hen, The three little pigs, Aesop's fables, 1001 Arabian nights, Uncle Remus, the Bible....get the kids thinking about how the world works and their place in it before you start indoctrinating them.

These books are few and far between. Complaining about them is the same as complaining about those darn kids and their safe spaces. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it gets blown way out of proportion. For the record, I am against books like this. I read my daughter Beatrix Potter books and things like that.
