About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is testing boundaries, particularly during the bedtime routine, or when they are feeling the tug of peer pressure from a friend or sibling. It is an excellent choice for kids who struggle to follow rules when they think no one is watching, using humor rather than lectures to illustrate why those rules exist. The story follows Walter, who ignores his father's warning about jumping on his bed only to find himself crashing through floor after floor of his apartment building. As he tumbles into various neighbors' lives, the book addresses themes of accountability and the physical consequences of our choices. It is a fantastic tool for opening a dialogue about how our actions can impact the people around us, all wrapped in a whimsical, absurdist package that keeps the tone light and engaging for preschoolers and early elementary students.
