A review by foxes_need_to_be_tamed
Coat of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
hopeful
inspiring
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
3.75
Small spoilers about the main character development, but if you are reading this you can probably read the book in under five minutes L
This is a children’s book about being different, the joy of it and also how people in the world will judge us. While the word choice and flow can improve, Dolly encapsulates what we believe about ourselves, and what others say to us is a choice. We chose the native.
I gave it a 3.75 because when Dolly wrote about Joseph’s coat parallel, it doesn’t mean “luck”, it just means the birthright. I also feel at the end of the story, the main character tells her classmates about why her cost is worth more doesn’t make sense to me because it is only worth more to her, not necessarily all her classmates. This may make a child who listens to it enforce their beliefs on others.
Of course, as always read it for yourself before reading it to a child.
