What a disappointment! This book is written in reverse. It would have make sense for Sophia to start asking for what she wants by asking “Please” with crying eyes, then to learn how to create a develop speech to convince every person in the audience, and be encouraged, supported and complimented for doing so. Instead, in this book, Sophia starts with well researched analysis and great presentation, only to be told that she speaks too much (!!!) by every single member of her finally, while not being even listened to by her grandma, and ends by supplicating like a small baby girl... and it works! What a terrible example for kids.
