Joy Wilt BerryReviews

very good and helpful for my children

This book is a bit outdated in its view of man/woman sexuality, but the basic message, that a boy or girl can do anything they want without being "effeminate" or a "tomboy" is still true. This book needs to be rewritten—if it hasn't been—for today's (2020s) parents and children.

This book is a wonderful informative book. It informs kiddos of what human rights are. It also introduces us to new vocabulary that helps bind the book. It talks about responsibility and organizations. It lists all the rights! It's heartwarming and puts a good message in the kids heads! What really stood out to me, was on each page, there was a picture of a child of a different race. For example, on one page there was an Arab, on the next was an American, on one was a girl from India, on another page was somebody from Africa, and someone from china! It is diverse! It encompasses the idea, that we all have equal rights!

this book is a perfect introduction to understand what disabilities are and what types there are. it teachers childen how to act and treat disabilities.½

I love reading old children's books. This was no exception. It was great learning about time and clocks and days of the week. Also how to manage my time and not waste it watching TV... :)

Joy Berry is doing us all a great service! This book is great for young children who have the habit of lying. This book reads like a self help book and draws a clear distinction between a lie and a fun story. ALL Parents need this book!

I love this series! This book reads like a emotional help book for children and I LOVE IT! I think it is great to get our children talking about emotions! This book is a must have for those tattlers!

I was really worried about this one, based on the title, but it certainly wasn't as bad as it could have been.

For being a "children's book about human sexuality," it focuses mainly on gendered things like names, careers, and hobbies, stating that both boys and girls, men and women can enjoy various activities no matter what society tries to tell them. Which, you know, is a great message on its own, but it is also clear to state, repeatedly, that you are "one or the other," male or female, boy or girl, man or woman. "A male child is a boy, and a boy becomes a man." "A female child is a girl, and a girl becomes a woman." But hey, within that you can be whatever you want.

I'll be putting this in a Little Free Library, just not sure I want to put it in my Little Free Library.
