Reach for this book when your child is in a high energy mood and needs a constructive, joyful outlet for their silliness. It is the perfect antidote to a day that has felt too serious or structured.

It encourages children to play with language and see the world through a whimsical lens. Parents will appreciate how the book builds a bridge between literacy and play. By using humor and wordplay, it lowers the stakes for emerging readers and builds a positive association with books.
