One Star Review Guess Who? (#72)
Can you guess the classic children’s book by its scathing one-star review on Goodreads or Amazon?

I can summarize this story with these questions and answers coming from the snot-nosed, little children in the novel: “Will we have a mother? […] Will she like me? Will she stay? Yes.”
Boring. Thank God Glenn Close made the character somewhat more tolerable in the made-for-TV version of this book.

Wow! That’s a really awful review! Sometimes I can see the perspective of the reviewer — not in this case. I’m glad the Newbery committee that year were more careful readers. 🙂
