What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely secular, lighthearted collection of humor with no mature or sensitive themes.
Ideal Reader
A 6 to 8 year old who is a 'social learner' (someone who loves to share what they've learned with others) and happens to be a cat lover. It's also excellent for a reluctant reader who finds long narratives intimidating but can handle short, punchy bursts of text.
