Parents need to know that there's nothing to be concerned about here, other than perhaps yet another depiction of girls who look like Barbie.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why Tink is so reluctant to talk to Peter. How might talking to him have avoided a lot of problems? What could she have said? What did she assume that turned out not to be true? How is Terence a better friend to her than she is to Peter? Also, do any real girls ever look like Tink?
