The One and Only Marigold is a book containing a series of short stories about a girl named Marigold. Marigold is a very strong willed and stubborn child ho has mo problem stand her ground when she thinks she is right. Much to the chagrin of her mother and her "best" friend. Scale was the thing I noticed the most in the book. I think the choice of having Marigold’s best friend be a hippopotamus and Marigold being a monkey was great. Marigold is physically is smaller than all the other characters in the book but she has the biggest presence throughout the book. I think the stereotype of modern spoiled entitled child and the over indulgent parent are prevalent in the book In fact when looking at the critiques of the book online in certain comments people were really appalled about the popularity of the book for those reasons. Maybe because I am 17 I saw it more as as being independent than being spoiled. Okay. I do have to say that I liked the art in this book. It was bold and colorful and interesting. But the story, however, was not my favorite. The book is about a little girl (monkey) Marigold who likes to have things her own way, who is defiant, and generally selfish. I am taking PSY311 now, and we learned about parenting styles and their effects on a child's development. This is a classic case of indulgent parenting, which is NOT good for a child's development. This is an illustrated picture book about a precocious young girl named Marigold. In the first story, Marigold buys a coat that is too small. In the second story, she makes lists and takes her friend Maxine off her friends list. In the third story, Marigold tricks her ex friend Maxine into buying garbage. In the fourth story, Marigold wears her old coat and hat to school. Maxine has new clothes, yet she goes home to change so she can wear old clothes too. The book is well written and illustrated. I did not like this book. I don't think that Marigold is a likable person, and she seems to get her way through tantrums and bad behavior. She is mean to her friends and mother. The book even admits that Marigold and her mother find each other "unreasonable and stubborn." I know that children can be difficult, but usually books that show bad behavior counterbalances with a bit of loving or positive behavior at the end. The only person who acts positively is Maxine, who is ridiculed and tricked. I don't think I would use this book with children. I think it reinforces the "Queen Bees and Wanna Bees" mentality. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Relates the misadventures of Marigold, who does not agree with anyone, as she shops with her mother for a coat, becomes interested in a new hobby, finds a way to "bug" her best friend, Maxine, and imaginatively copes with finding the right outfit for the first day of school.
