Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the frustration of a 'perfect' plan going off the rails due to a sibling's behavior. It is an excellent tool for children who take games or rules very seriously and need a humorous way to process the embarrassment and anger that comes when others don't follow their lead. The story follows a young girl attempting to host a sophisticated tea party for her younger sisters, only to have her etiquette lessons interrupted by a mysterious and recurring 'tooting' sound. While the humor is centered on a common childhood 'gross-out' trope, the emotional core is about managing expectations and learning to laugh when things don't go as planned. It is a lighthearted, relatable look at sibling dynamics and the social-emotional challenge of maintaining composure. Perfect for the 4 to 7 age range, it turns a potential moment of shame into an opportunity for family bonding and shared laughter.
