Stupid Humans

A parent would reach for this book when their child is beginning to push back against adult rules or needs a lighthearted way to process the confusing contradictions of grown-up behavior. By shifting the perspective to a family dog, the story validates a child's natural curiosity and occasional frustration with the 'strange' habits of the adults in their lives, fostering a shared sense of humor between parent and child. The story follows a dog who meticulously documents the baffling choices of his human family, from their obsession with screens to their weird bath-time rituals. It is a joyful, low-stakes read that celebrates family bonds while gently poking fun at the status quo. For children ages 8 to 12, it offers a sophisticated level of irony that rewards their developing observational skills and encourages them to look at their world from a brand-new angle.
