This is an attractive, clever, and interactive book b y a best-selling author. It addresses the problem most families face; The hardship of giving up pacifiers. Sari Barel is the best-selling author of a half dozen “Truthy Ruthy” books and a co-author of a book series called “Think like a Zebra.”In this book Truthy Ruthy can’t understand why when she is going to sleep and when she does other things, everyone says “Ruthy, are you still a baby?” the problem is that she – like many other children who can learn from this book – loves her pacifier. Mom tires to help her with various methods, including working with Ruthy in composing a song saying good bye to the pacifier. But no attempt worked.It is here that Sari Barel uses her clever interactive method. She offers her reader – the child – three possible endings to the story and asks which one the reader likes best. I think this idea of asking which solution works best has a good chance of making the child realize that she or he must stop acting like a baby. I recommend the book because it is a good humorous tale and it has a good likelihood of stopping a child from using a pacifier.
