Being Me

For the most part it’s a book about a little girl listing all the different things she likes to do.  Tucked in rather off-handedly is the fact that the girl can’t here and she talks with her hands.  In the back is a declaration telling the reader they’ve just “found out how much fun doing what you like can be.”  Really? This reader didn’t think so.  I think it’s probably a bad sign in general if you have to tell the reader flat out what the point was, but it’s particularly bad if the text failed to make that point.  This declaration is followed up by some “learning activities” that don’t seem to have anything to do the declared purpose.
