I was tempted to say that this whole palaver could have been avoided by the simple tenet "use your words", then remembered that doing so would require more IQ than the lead displayed - her dog has a sharper mind.   This will be the last time I try one of these "feel good" 4-packs, because they never make me feel good. Full of annoying, interfering know-it-alls, annoying brainless leads, and a complete absence of adult intelligence and conversation. I only stuck this one out because I accidentally started reading book 4 thinking it was the set, and then wanted to know about the compass. The solution to that was as eye-rollingly bad as I ought to have expected
