What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular, gentle, and focuses entirely on the positive or humorous aspects of day-to-day life.
Ideal Reader
A first or second grader who is beginning to notice the humor in their own life. It is perfect for the child who enjoys wordplay or the 'reluctant reader' who might be intimidated by long blocks of text but delights in short, punchy verses with visual cues.
