Love, Splat by Rob Scotton

2.0

This might be the only Splat book I don't love. Splat really like Kitten and wants to give her a valentine. But he is not sure. When ever he sees kitten she pulls his hears, pokes his belly, and tells him he smells. When I was growing up you were told that the boy picking on you, did it because they liked you. Well that was a few decades ago. And while in the end of this book you find out that Kitten was petting his fur, and like the sound Splat made when you touched his belly, I still think it sends the wrong message. We need to be teaching kids to show feelings in non-harmful ways. To one person, they are playing, to another they are being bullied. Yep, this is a total thumbs down for me.
