Book Reviews of Just So Stories
Book Review: Just So Racist!!
Summary: 2 Stars
"Oh, plain black's best for a nigger" from "How the Lepard got his Spots"....need I say more??
I was very disappointed with this book after so many of the reviews were positive. Let's wake up!! It's 2007 and the Era of the word "Negro", or as Mr. Kipling likes to say..."nigger" is not a charming word to describe an African/black person! Why don't we keep these types of books in a special section on racist authors, and what not to spend time reading to our children!!
Book Review: Just So Stories a Wonderful book for all
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter and I read this book a year ago for homeschool and enjoyed it immensly. We have moved out of country, and were not able to bring a lot things with us, this book included. However, she received this book for Christmas and couldn't have been more thrilled. It is a book that can be read again, and again. They are wonderful stories full of clever writing, great plots, and perfect for kids of all ages.Book Review: A classic, but beware some terms.
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved Just So Stories as a child, and the stories are - for the most part - still really wonderful. Be aware if you are buying this for someone, however, that some of the stories are less than flattering to minorities and one of the stories does use the word "nigger," so this is definitely a book for someone who is old enough to talk to about language and what's appropriate and so on.Book Review: Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories
Summary: 5 Stars
Timeless tales of a few animal origins. Prescious, priceless! And, absolutely Fantastic when read aloud to others with different voices for the different animals, as they were to me when I was a child. I bought several copies for my children so they could pass them on to thier children as well.Book Review: Old English is hard for kiddies, but fun for adults!
Summary: 5 Stars
The kids will have a hard time reading the old English style this book was written in, though the quality of the work makes it worth buying and reading to your children, with translation into modern English, or course!
