Book Reviews of Tickle the Pig (Pat the Bunny) (Touch-and-Feel)
Book Review: THE WORST KIDS BOOK EVER
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a two-year-old daughter, and every night I read to her. She likes Dr. Seuss, Eric Carle, Francois Crozat, and she really likes the original "Pat the Bunny," by Dorothy Kunhardt.
Knowing that, I bought her this one, "Tickle the Pig," thinking she might enjoy it as well. It was wrapped in plastic, so I couldn't confirm that it was worth it before buying it, but we paid for it, took it home, and discovered that it Absolutely Sucked.
Without any reservations, I can say that I think this is among the worst kids books I have ever read. Ever. Including "The Tiny Dot". Including "A Pocket for Corduroy". Including that creepy Dick Van Dyke Christmas one.
Dorothy Kunhardt's sister Edith rips off one of Dorothy's books, and turns it into little more than an inane touch-and-feel book. Where "Pat the Bunny" had rings to try on, mirrors to look into, meta-books to read, flowers to smell, flaps to lift, and so on, this one pretty much just has bits of fabric to feel, like any other of the thousand touch-and-feel books that every book packaging company and his brother craps out. Oh, and it also has a handful of flaps to pull and flaps to push in that your small child will likely not be able to do on their own. It has a lame story, disappointing art, and--this is the main point that needs to be made--it seems that kids don't even like it.
My daughter was at first excited about it, but soon grew frustrated with its hard-to-use flaps and eventually got to where she would never choose it read if she could choose anything else. Her friends weren't interested in it, and I, for sure, didn't suggest it to her to read at bedtime. Please, anything but that...
This book is a prime example of greed over art, of a lust for money over a desire for quality. This book defines misbegotten. It is an abomination, a wasted use of young brainspace, and I'm happy to say that my daughter never seems to have missed it since I traded it for something better.
