What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's mention of 'jokes in bad taste' refers to mild, age-appropriate gross-out humor (e.g., about smells or bugs), not anything truly sensitive or offensive. The approach is entirely secular and for entertainment purposes. There are no resolutions or complex themes.
Ideal Reader
This book is perfect for a 6 to 8-year-old who is just discovering their own sense of humor and loves being the center of attention. It is especially well-suited for a reluctant reader who is more motivated by social interaction and performance than by narrative stories. It gives them a 'toolkit' to make others laugh.
