Not for young children.

My son and I have been reading the Land of Stories book series. We got this book to read between book 3 & 4. I know Mother Goose in the books can be a little unexpected but I didn’t think they would be so liberal in this book. Luckily I read through it before my son got ahold of it and I was appalled that the last chapter was Mother Goose marching for LBGTQ in the last chapter. I believe this book inflicts views on children that at a young age of 9 are not able to understand and do not need to be reading about.

Not what I expected

In the second page, and I already dislike it. It just sounds like the author's voice through these characters to be quite honest. And as a writer and avid reader myself, I was not really impressed with the lack of images. This only sounds as though the author is protesting against all things he witnessed and experienced in his life. The tone of voice is so him, and not much of an actual genuine mother goose that I was expecting. Not sure if I would recommend this book to children. If you're a parent, read it first then decide if you'd like your child to be emotionally attached to a voice that is in full throttle of protesting, and sounds frustrated.
