A Yellow Ribbon for Daddy by Veritas Media

Not the best choice for a military family

I was very disappointed in this book. There was the reoccurring theme of "my daddy had to go fight" which I found to be inappropriate for my child. I also found the illustrations extremely stereotypical. (For example, there was a large SUV with a yellow ribbon on the back.) I look forward getting rid of this book as soon as possible!

Not great for the younger kids

This book's recurring line is, "My Daddy had to go to fight. I do not understand." on practically every page. I didn't realize that there would be so much emphasis on fighting, which we don't ever discuss with our two year old. We use phrases like, "Daddy is going to keep people safe," because I feel that is much more age appropriate and positive. This book brings up some really good questions that older kids have, but it's pretty depressing in parts, and not quite as upbeat as some of the other ones out there, like "Red, White, and Blue Goodbye" and "The Red Balloon." $10 is also a little pricey for this paperback, when there are better ones out there for less.

Ok

This book was just ok for me. I bought it after my husband deployed overseas for my 2 toddler boys. I didn't like the use of the word "War" said so many times. It seemed so depressing and mature. It might be ok for an older child, but my children are 3 and 17 months. The illustrations weren't that good. For the money, it wasn't the best book. Not recommended for young children whose parents have deployed recently or will be deploying.

THERE ARE MUCH BETTER BOOKS OUT THERE!

This book is really poorly written- it seems like it should rhyme, and it just doesn't. It is a good message, but there are other books for this age group that have the same message and well written. Try "My Daddy is a Soilder"

Love it!!!

Really can help a child understand why daddy is away at war. I also use it to read to my other granddaughter and replace the word "daddy" with "uncle". Highly recommend this book.
