## Description

Not Now, Bernard : McKee, David: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: A cute book with a message for parents. - I have had a larger 'Not Now Bernard' book for many years now and have read it with all my children. I saw this smaller paperback was available and decided to buy it to keep handy. This book is simple enough to enable even very young children to help their parents read the story. For them, it's a story they can join in with and it has a naughty monster in it. It's a lot of fun. For parents, it's actually a good reminder that, if you don't give your children enough positive attention, they will soon turn into little monsters. My partner remarked at the sadness of the story. Yes, it is sad that the little boy doesn't get any attention from his parents. However, I should think parents who are guilty of ignoring their children, even if only very slightly, might be more affected by the story as a whole. Guilt would probably be the most common feeling when reading this book. Think about this: If the story was just about a naughty boy being eaten by a monster and made no mention of his parents' neglect of him, we would probably jump at the chance to read it to our children, in the hope it would encourage them to behave themselves. However, because the behaviour of the parents is highlighted, it makes us feel differently about the story. No-one likes to feel their parenting skills are being questioned. I'd have to ask myself...am I worried this book will upset my child, or am I worried it will upset me? Personally, I'm happy with the story. It works as a simple reader, while reminding parents to spend quality time with their children while they're young, in order to reap the benefits later.
Review: Great story - Great story

A good book. Amazon delivery driver left it out in the rain, propped up against the front door, despite people in the house.
