About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is caught up in a whirlwind of grand, impractical ideas or is struggling to understand why some 'fun' suggestions are actually quite difficult to execute. It is the perfect antidote to the 'but why can't we?' phase of childhood. This hilarious, tongue-in-cheek guide explains exactly why a parade of pigs would be a logistical and sensory nightmare, from their refusal to wear uniforms to their obsession with potato salad. While the book is primarily a work of absurdist humor, it subtly touches on the themes of logical reasoning, cause and effect, and the importance of considering the needs and nature of others. It is ideally suited for children aged 4 to 8 who appreciate dry wit and silly imagery. Parents will enjoy the sophisticated vocabulary and the shared laugh over the beautiful chaos of uncooperative animals.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and grounded in comedic absurdity.
Ideal Reader
A first or second grader with a developing sense of irony who loves to argue 'the opposite' or a child who enjoys 'Instructional' books that go off the rails. It's great for the kid who thinks 'chaos' is a personality trait.
