Title: Fat Camp Commandos by Andy Rash, Daniel Manus Pinkwater ISBN: 0-439-15528-2 Publisher: Scholastic Pub. Date: May, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $4.50 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (5 reviews)

Summary: Revolutionary!
Comment: Although some complain that the message is too strong, I think that given the fact that the self esteem of a fat child is constantly abused from every imaginable angle including simple cartoons, they need some heavy duty fire power to combat the other strong messages that tell them to hate themselves. I only wish that the strong message of this book was mirrored by other books. Something wimpy that beat around the bush wouldn't be at all effective, and you can be certain that the author does not beat around the bush! I also like that it does not insult the intelligence of children, which we all too often underestimate. The kids got the jokes, enjoyed the illustrations, and received a defined boost in their self esteem.
I hope that those with fat children, or even those with thin children who are fearful of fat, will purchase this incredible book and teach their children self respect instead of self hatred. I highly recommend it!

Summary: More preaching than anything
Comment: While there is a valid point that overwieght children are often made fun of and people should be more tolerant, the author spends far too much time reminding us of his not-so-hidden agenda. As a story, though, this book doesn't really deliver the goods.
Rating: 4
Summary: Do you think you could handle this camp?
Comment: This book is kind of confusing in the start but as you to read it makes more sence. This book is about two kids that have to go to fat camp, because their mom and dad said that you would be miserable if you stayed fat. You will have to read the rest to find out what happens to the kids!
