Reach for this book when your child is struggling to navigate the line between a playful joke and a mean-spirited prank. It is a perfect tool for children who might find themselves on either side of the playground dynamic: the jokester who goes too far or the child who feels like the target of a joke that is not actually funny. In this story, the Teen Titans must handle a villain named Punster, whose jokes literally come to life to cause chaos. While it is an action-oriented superhero tale, the underlying emotional themes focus on empathy, the consequences of our words, and how humor can be used to isolate or hurt others. It is an ideal bridge for parents to talk about social boundaries and the importance of reading the room when trying to be funny.
