As always, the book is a fun read. Although I understand what they're trying to get across, I would like to have seen it tell Duckie that although he shouldn't grumble about his situations, it's okay to get your feelings out & that what he feels IS important. Don't make him feel he should have to hold in whatever is bothering him. Maybe, with me dealing what I've dealt with in life and know what it's like to hold things in and how angry it can make you, I'm reading too much into this Children's book...lol ( )
