 We love this book! September 23, 2007
We reread this book every Halloween!
It gives us an opportunity to discuss selfishness and the consequences of negative behavior- like the way Harriet "cheats" her baby brother out of the "good candy" and the way hiding her candy becomes obsessive- not to mention Harriet's nausea after gobbling down all her candy.
We really like the way Harriet counts and classifies her Halloween goodies- a fun application of Math.
Our daughters have complete control over their Halloween Booty for about a week- and then it gets poured into the Family Candy Bowl- by then they have gotten their fill of their Favorites, and don't overdo it.
Many years, as Girl Scouts, they have thrown the "leftover candy" to the crowds that gather in our city for the Veteran's Day Parade.
Harriet is a Cautionary Tale- well worth the conversations it can inspire!
 Highly Disappointed in this Book July 30, 2007

I bought this book on the recommendation of some of my girlfriends. I thought it would be a good book to discuss handling halloween candy. Instead it shows the main character hoarding her candy, sharing only one piece for which she doesn't care, and in the end getting a stomache ache. I would have preferred a book distolling the virtues of sharing, moderation when it comes to candy, and the other joys of Halloween. This book brought none of that.
