Publisher's Synopsis
Outright blackmail uses threats of physical, financial or other tangible harm. Emotional blackmail can be more subtle. Manipulators try to invoke in us feelings such as the fear of getting sick, guilt or shame for not being nice or tolerant enough.
If You Give a Mouse 15 Days helps you teach your children to be stoic, think logically and critically, evaluate facts, and resist emotional appeals.
Alert readers will recognize many parallels in the story to events of recent years. If You Give a Mouse 15 Days also incorporates lessons on the economy, business, manufacturing, farming, health and medicine.
The main characters are a young boy, Tim, and a manipulative mouse. At first Tim and his family fall for the mouse's tricks. Will they see through his facade and find a way out of the situation?
