I love this book
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
I love this book ''. It is empowering. I read it to my three-year-old and he enjoys it. The themes are definitely above the younger heads, but we want to start them early.

Reinforces tired oppressive ideology
Derived From Web , Nov 4, 2020
This book is supposed to be about allyship, equality and social justice, but reinforces the idea that non-human animals should be exploited, abused and killed for human use. This is an oppressive ideology that does not belong in a book that is supposedly challenging oppression. In addition, hot dogs and cheese are not healthy foods. They are carcinogenic and cause heart disease. Zero stars for the lack of intersectionality and true social justice in A is for activism, not for racism.

A Book Calling for Revolution (by whatever means)
Derived From Web , Oct 26, 2020
This is not only undesirable, but it is also related to brainwashing the letter. The themes are so far beyond the scope of understanding for a child that all they do is manipulate their minds for revolution. This revolution will end in the deaths of millions, as it always does. Regardless of the intention of the author or the publisher, this is negative and will yield propoganda results.

Ridiculous Children's Book
Derived From Web , Oct 20, 2020
I bought this book as a gag gift for a family member because of the silly language and ideas contained in it. It blows my mind that this author thought this was an appropriate book for children and babies. 1) The language is way too advanced for this age group WAY too advanced. I bought this for a high school sophomore and even he had to ask what some words meant in this book. 2) It has a theme of the outlandish and hypocritical liberal indoctrination of children of early ideas. 3)The author seemed to sometimes make the language poetic and sometimes not, almost like he forgot that he was supposed to make words rhyme or make a line rhythmic, like in a lot of other children's books? Besides these two things, there are many other reasons why it is ridiculous to label it as a children's book. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR CHILDREN DON'T BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR CHILDREN.

this book (while it appears to be for children) has ideals that are not age appropriate
Derived From Web , Sep 16, 2018
This book is laden with propaganda... which is why I highly recommend buying a copy if you are into filling your child's head with socialist and communist ideals. But if you would prefer not put anarchist types of ideals into your child's head, DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE!

Lovely message, some lovely writing. Totally inappropriate for the age group it’s aimed at.
Derived From Web , Sep 6, 2018
We should focus on teaching our young preschoolers empathy and proactive problem solving and less on anger and strife? The world is an awful place and yes, we need to teach our children to change it, but they are still children and it is our job to protect them from terrible things, at least to an extent. I don 't think that calling for a violent revolution and demeaning the opposition do this. Many large buzzwords are used that will excite the reader and thrill them, but young listeners will be lost. There are no explanations for the long strings of words far beyond preschool comprehension. It is a beautiful message that should perhaps have been formatted and presented for a younger age group with a more sophisticated sense of right and wrong. I must say that I much prefer counting on community and the way it normalized proactive steps and highlights the good.

A is for Activist
Derived From Web , Mar 22, 2018
I bought this book as a gift for my friend's 2 year old daughter. I still plan on giving it to them, but after reading the full book once it arrived, I am not as excited about it. Some of the pages are well-written and well-done, but other pages aren't quite up to par and appear as if the author was grasping at straws to find something related to the letter just to write something. The quality is great and I love the artwork on the illustrations. I give this 3 stars because while I appreciate the message and the author's intent, some of the writing falls incredibly flat and a bit on the derogatory side.
