Doozer

I used to have a stuffed dog toy named Doozer, so that's my fun entry into this story.  It has nothing to do with the story at all.  Now to the book!

The Legend of the Doozer Who Didn't is a children's book about a Doozer, which is a species of some sort, that began to stand out and do his own thing.  I would have preferred if the book stayed on that path and allowed the Doozer Who Didn't to be a free-thinking individual who found a different path than the rest of his people.  But it didn't go that way.  The book explained that if you weren't a hard working drone, then you would become a gruesome beast called a Fraggle.  This book is an attempt to scare children (in a fun way) to stay in school and work hard so they wouldn't become an outcast.  As harmless as this book looks, it's actually quite damaging.  There are other things that can be done besides labor and school.  So many opportunities for children to choose from, and this book makes it seem like there is a straight path. 

I put this book on my blog to raise awareness that every children's book may not be in the best interest of the child.  Or simply it might be outdated to the way we as people think today.
