Mommy's review from 12/11/11 -
This is very average in my opinion. I liked it and it worked for us because this is another one Julia worked through with my help.
Basically, a little boy is done with being called 'Squirt' by his older brother so he uses his piggy bank money to enforce his plan.
His plan? He buys the Drencher 1000 (I thought that was unique) and instead of Squirt he turns into... this pains me... the Splat Master.
Anyway, he sprays the flowers, he sprays the raccoon, he sprays his brother finally.
He splats a stranger kid at the park who happens to have the same toy. The boy sprays him back and he falls, skins his leg and cries like a baby. He finds he's still actually Squirt.
The two become friends in what was most likely an attempt at a lesson to the story but it doesn't pan out. Lessons aren't taught in one sentence IMO. "We only splat each other if we both say yes." Poignant.
There is a little white boy and a little black boy so there is that. That's about the only redeeming factor IMO. It's not truly horrible but it's literally scraping the bottom of the barrel.
