Contains unnecessary disgusting scenes, 30 Jun 2003

By	"rsmckenzie" - See all my reviews

My 9 year old daughter was very excited about this book series, but as a parent, I have been disappointed in the four books that I have read. Eleanor is no exception. This book contains several scenes which are disgusting -- a child who vomits up a ball of writhing worms, another child who has a worm come out of its eye (Eleanor calls for the doctor then watches as this worm fully emerges, as long as Eleanor's arm), a kitten falls down a privy chute and drowns, and Eleanor's sister writes a poem about this kitten's experience in her diary (mercifuly, the poem is not included in this book). While no doubt things like this happened in this time period, I felt these scenes did not add in any way to this book. When my daughter read the worms scene, she set the book aside and did not want to read any more of it. There are definitely better books for 8-11 year old girls to read.
