The Pacifier Tree is an inventive little story about a mother
who tries to figure out a way to get her son go give up his pacifier. He is
sucking on it all the time and making horrible sucking noises on it. He doesn’t
want to give it up.
She comes up with an
idea and gets all the other mothers in the neighborhood to participate. The
children all hang their pacifiers on a sapling and leave notes with it. They
are told that the tree needs the pacifiers to grow big and strong. This gives
the children a purpose and a reason for giving up their pacifiers. Later when
the tree is bigger, they are able to build a treehouse in it.
I thought the idea
of the pacifier tree was inventive. The idea of giving the tree his pacifier so
that it could grow up big enough for him to build a treehouse in it gave him a
good enough reason to give it up.
The pictures were
bright and colourful. It is a shame that with a two-page spread set up the
pictures do not correspond with the words. On the right side of the page are
the words, then you turn the page and see the picture that goes with them on
the left-hand side of the page. The following text on the right side of the
page belongs with the picture on next page. This makes things difficult for new
readers who need picture cues when reading. It’s always best to have the
corresponding picture and words on the same page (or two-page spread).
I tried to download
the video and audiobook gift. The process went well and I was assured that that
the link was sent to my email. However, no link appeared. I waited a couple of
days thinking that perhaps there was a delay in the link being sent. However
the link never showed up. I tried again, with the same result.
Hopefully this book
will help parents get creative to figure out what will motivate their own child
to give up the pacifier. (Personally, my vote is for the pacifier because you
can get rid of it whereas you cannot get rid of a child’s fingers!)
I gave this creative
little children’s story a rating of 3 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the
author for providing a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest
review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
