This book was so blatantly chauvenistic! It's obviously a children's book that was written before political correctness or women's lib occurred... It stereotypes what boys "do" (be Dr.'s, fix things) and what girls "do" (help Dr.'s, break things). Read it for a great laugh!

This book is obviously chauvanistic- it seems like it should be from 1950, not 1970. Sexual prejudices are blatantly presented as if that is the way the world is. Written for toddlers it tells how men and women should have different roles eg. doctors and nurses. However it is a great tool for teachers or parents to use to show how opinions are molded even at a very young age. I use it with my 5th graders every year to illustrate how children are effected by the different media to which they are exposed.

This is in my opinion the best piece of literature I have read. It demonstrates the actuality of human life and how the gender roles should be illustrated. In my opinion Mr. Darrow is the greatest author of the millenium. This book is better than Dante's Inferno and ranks above all other classical literature.
