Not for children only

I wanted to read this to see if it would be good for my nieces. I have sometimes bought children's or young adult books by mistake before. Before I realized my errors, I just thought the authors were very poor writers. Good stories, maybe, but dumbed down. Not this one! Compelling story. Well written. And fun.

Most Caldecott books are suitable for children in grades one through three--this one is not!! Although the cover makes it look like a cute summer romp, the language and some of the content are for a considerably older audience. It is quite an affecting story, and a nicely illustrated graphic novel. But the four letter words that abound throughout make it objectionable for young girls. On the other hand, the main characters are young and somewhat immature, and I'm not sure it would appeal to an eighth grader. This book left me unclear about its intended audience.

I really enjoyed this book, however, I don't think it is appropriate for small children.  I thought the title sounded funny, but the subject matter was just way over my kids' heads.  Great book for an older kid, though.  Maybe ages 12 - 15.

I wasn't aware it was a book aimed mostly at upper elementary kids, but think the stories are good and that kids would enjoy them.  I enjoyed them, but was well aware it wasn't written for an adult.  Since I am an animal lover, I was pleasantly amused.

THIS BOOK IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. I'M NOT GOING TO KEEP THIS BOOK OR READ IT TO MY DAUGHTER EVER. I WAS SHOCKED AS I WAS READING IT. GOOD THING I ONLY SPENT A DOLLAR AND SOME CHANGE ON IT BECAUSE I'M THROWING IT AWAY! SPOILS CHRISTMAS THEN TRIES TO RECOVER QUICKLY AT THE END. WEIRD. I DON'T GET IT.

The title does not prepare you for what you are about to read. The characters are great . The story is not what you think it should be.  I recommend this book for adults due to sexual content.

Not at all for kids, It's an excellente scary movie and the blu ray qualitiy plus the sounds makes it even more scarier.
Do not watch it alone!

This is not for everyone.  I personally long for the days when the World was safer, more carefree and less threatening, and kids were allowed to retain their innocence as they grew up, experiencing life as it came at them.  I am all for encouraging independence and building confidence in my children through experience, and stretching their boundaries.  However in today's reality, many 'free range' type activities are not without real risk, and this must be taken into consideration.

I tried, but could not chew my way through the entire book.  The writing style is not a comfortable one for me, and the content is more opinion than based in expertise or study.  I respect the author for having her opinion and for putting it out there to challenge others' thinking and philosophy.  Parenting is very much a 'free range' activity within the legal and moral bounds of society.  So yes, you should allow activities and challenge boundaries with your children as long as you, their parent are comfortable.  This book comes into play in challenging your beliefs about what those comfort limits are, but again, it ultimately comes back to a personal decision for parents.

Not for kids. I bought this book thinking I was going to give this to my 9 year old. Yea No! This isn't meant for them and I wish FNAF wouldnt target to kids.

this is definitely not for the children! I think it is a jaded look at the new British social structure. The book itself is very difficult to put down, once you have started reading, due to the twists & turns in the plot. As with the Harry Potter books, the author is able hold the reader's attention fully. I thought it was a jolly good read.

Make sure you read the disclaimer for this book, it's not meant for young adults. Still a very good book, twisted but good.
I loved her reference of the Fred Water :)
It's sad knowing there are people out there who aren't loved as children and treated the way that no kid should be.

Everyone says this game is for kids.  Unless your 7-year-old is a MENSA candidate, I beg to differ.  From the artwork as well as the television cartoon, you would think a 6-8 year old could play this game.  Maybe they could, but I doubt they would get too far on their own.  It's quite fun, but it gets exceedingly difficult to manage all of the tasks, including mating more advanced piatas and coaxing some of the more difficult plants to grow.  The game seems more marketed to the inner-kids in the teen to adult set.  In fact, there are even some sexual innuendos (you are getting animals to procreate, after all), which are innocent from a child's perspective yet able to be picked up and understood by adults.  A kid could certainly play with the help of an adult, stick to the lower levels, or would even enjoy watching an adult play (which is easy to do for hours and hours on end), but even I get frustrated playing it at times.  I can just imagine how a younger child would fare.  It really is great fun, but be mindful of the purchase because I feel the age group for this game is slightly misrepresented.

Pan's Labyrinth is the essence of fairy tale fantasy and real-world horror. Please be warned that this film is, in my opinion, NOT for children or anyone who is sensitive to graphic torture/violence. I found the 'fantasy' sequences to be very interesting and at times entertaining, however, the real-life scenes involving the 'Capitan' and his actions are highly disturbing. If you decide to buy this film, please watch it first before exposing it to your children.

I loved reading this book but it is definitely not for children more for late teens and early twenties, like me. I laughed and felt like I knew exactly who these characters were but there was language and sex, which would cause discomfort for a lot of people. I'm big on mermaid books so I loved adding this to my collection. Now onto my next fish adventure....

It's a great story with pictures and not just for kids. Also good for those who don't rest well or who just like to imagine a lot.

For adults only. This is what every exhausted parent would think but never say. Not for Children.

This book is wonderfully illustrated and the overall message is valuable, but some of the content and language is not appropriate for ages 4-6. The whole book is framed by the older narrator thinking of his father who has been dead for many years.  With my child and many other young ones, this sparks the question about whether their mother and father are going to die soon -- not exactly Christmas material.  I regularly read my daughter many books geared for older children, but this book has overall sentence structures and word choices that are really not in my mind geared for children.
