A review by tansybradshaw
Give Please a Chance by Bill O'Reilly, James Patterson
1.0
This is in my work's library and it was read to a Grade 2 class. Considering who wrote the book - you cannot help but get political about it. Before being fired Bill O'Reilly spewed the right-wing vitriol that Fox News does. Some of the statements in this book make perfect sense, others even the class pointed out did not make grammatical sense.
Also, there was one questionable sentence when a child was clearly in distress and they STILL had to say please to get someone to help them. The children found that confusing as hell and not appropriate.
The teacher said you had to use your imagination to figure it out along with the picture is a way to get around it but from a writer and a left wing bias. This book is just another item that builds into the narrative that Fox News had a while back about children these days losing their manners and forgetting to say 'please.'
