Book Review: A Fabulous Tool to Beat Back the Disney Onslaught
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book and take it with me every week when my 4-yr.-old daughter and I go to the library. Despite my best efforts, the Disney princess, Barbie, Bratz, etc. marketing machine is so in her face that of course that is what she gravitates to. Hoping it's just a phase, and trying not to be too didactic, I let her pick out what she wants (with the exception of Bratz!) but also pull out my secret weapon--this book--to always pick out a couple more books that present some alternative, balanced, positive models for her of what girls can be. Labeling these "feminist" girls is so ridiculous and retrograde. They are girls who make their own decisions, like nature, like sports, like animals--they are fully human. I pity the woman or man whose experience of life is so narrow that they feel the need to tack a label on such pursuits and passions. I only hope the book will be updated soon...
