What's Pete's Secret? by Sally Huss


Rating: WARTY!

I've had mixed results with books by Sally Huss, and with regard to this particular one, I have to say that the answer to "What's Pete's Secret?" is that Pete is a frigging moron. He's so unreactive as to be catatonic and therefore is the very last person children should seek to emulate. I can see that her intention here was to have children behave in a more zen-like and less frantic manner, which is all well and good, but the extent she shows it here is not only stupid, it's dangerous. I cannot recommend this children's book.
