What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The central conflict is a cartoonish version of good versus evil. The threat of destruction is aimed at inanimate objects (books), not people, which keeps the stakes fun and not truly frightening. The approach is entirely secular and metaphorical. The resolution is completely hopeful and triumphant, with the villain being comically foiled rather than harmed.
