review 1: Date: September 7th, 2014Author: Tori Spelling; Illustrations by Vanessa Brantley NewtonTitle: Presenting...TallulahPlot: Tallulah is a privileged little girl who is not allowed to get dirty, talk loudly or make messes. The problem is Tallulah wants to be like any other kid that goes to her school. Setting: Tallulah's home; Tallulah's schoolCharacters: Tallulah, MaxPoint-of-View: Third-PersonTheme: Kindness, Individuality, Original, Style: Narrative, Third-PersonCopyright: 2010Notes: To be honest, I have read better books. I would not use this book for academic purposes simply because I do not find the author of this children's book to be as credible or even close to the same status as Chris Van Allsburg with his Caldecott-awarded books. I do not feel that any child in my ... morelibrary could relate to this character, a privileged child who was upset because she was too privileged. I felt no connection or interest when I read this book, therefore I have no desire to put this book that lacks meaning and substance in my future library.
review 2: First I will confess that I am a Tori Spelling fan. I watch her reality TV show and follow her on Twitter. And she's a delightful and very down to earth person. Normally I hate celebrity books, but this one is actually cute and not pedantic or self-serving. It's a simple a sweet tale of a poor little rich girl who really wants to get dirty and have fun and be like normal kids. I also love pugs and know that Tori's beloved pug was named "mimi" so that's a sweet touch. A nice story about being yourself. less
