Scribble

I think I could scribble something down on a napkin that would be better than this.                     

THREE PROS

*Pink and yellow are a pleasing combination of colors you don't see every day that gave each page a lot of energy -- too bad the story sapped every ounce of it away 
*However misplaced it might have been, you've gotta give the author points for creativity and originality
*I did like how Scribble the cat turned the thicket into a ball of yarn     

THREE CONS 

*My wife and I cannot stop talking about how unnecessary and irritating the quarreling sister dynamic was  

*Adding fuel to our fire was Lucie's bratty behavior even after Emma left the picture

*So was the princess awakened from her century-long slumber before Scribble came along or not -- attention to detail is not Deborah Freedman's strong suit, at least in this instance

ONE DAD'S OPINION

A love story about a cat and a human.  Sounds like a juvenile introduction to bestiality to me.  Too much? Probably, but even if I am 98% in the wrong, that's still more zooerastia than this dad needs in his household.  For those of you who live a more libertine lifestyle, there's still a lot not to love.  Am I in the minority for thinking that images of misbehaving tots are not the most desirable things to put front and center in a children's book?  [Especially when the learning lesson is weakly emphasized (as is the case here) or nonexistant?]  Comment below with your answers so I can scribble them down in my journal.
