Oy, Feh, So?
by Cary Fagan, Gary Clement
Disappointing picture book about a common situation.
It starts off with a promising situation. Three kids hate visiting their boring aunts and uncle, who answer every question with one of the three words in the title. The illustrations are cute and I was initially engaged and amused by the kids antics as they try to provoke their relatives into another response.
Where this story goes wrong is when the kids imitate their relatives.
I found this offensive. It is not okay to make fun of people, and it is not okay to let kids think it's okay. And children should be taught to respect adults. Not all adults are fun for kids, and that's understandable. But that doesn't mean kids should tease them.
While the aunts and uncle find the kids' imitations charming and the ice is finally broken, in real life, feelings could be hurt.
