Do not recommend
Really negative messages. The sister’s story is described as her “long girl story.” I don’t want my child absorbing the message that what women have to say is boring and reinforcing the chatty woman stereotype. Second, the narrative describes other children as Rude Richard & Rude Courtney. In addition to this, the prose is simply too wordy. I have read this book because I appreciate the unique way of talking to my child about interrupting but I don’t recommend this as the best option & I don’t enjoy having to self edit the text while reading.
