Doctor Mouse por Christa Kempter
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
I’m not sure if it’s the translation or the story that I don’t quite like. First Dr. Mouse aks patients “What’s wrong with you” and it seem off putting, almost like an accusation of wrongdoing. Part of the story feels like a therapy meeting and partly like a real doctor's visit. I like the idea of the story and I love the illustrations, but I think the point of the story is muddled, or just completely missing.

Grooming for food not sex!
The illustrations in this book are superlative, and the idea of the story - a wolf becoming the penpal of a 'delicious' little lamb in order to eat him all up - is also excellent. The illustrations never let you down, but the story doesn't quite work mostly because it gets all pc about little ones not having friends that mummy doesn't approve of.
I get really fed-up with the pc element of modern children's books. I grew up on Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Winnie-the-Pooh, the Little Mermaid (not the atrocious Disney version, but the original one in which the Little Mermaid commits suicide when she isn't the one the prince chooses to marry), What Katy Did, Treasure Island, and other totally non-pc stories that didn't contain a moral lesson.
I think stories that entertain are far more likely to inspire a love of books than ones that never lose an opportunity to push education or the 'moral' values of the author, and anyway, what's wrong with sheer entertainment and a bit of an excited shiver over the predicament of the hero and the truly evil villain?… (más)
