About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is in a silly mood, full of imaginative energy and perhaps testing the waters of independence in a playful way. The Runaway Belly Button is a hilariously absurd story about a little girl named Eleanor whose belly button gets bored, pops out, and rolls off in search of adventure. Eleanor and her parents chase the runaway navel all over town, from the beach to the arcade. This book celebrates pure joy, wonder, and the funny side of wanting a little freedom. Perfect for ages 4 to 7, it's a fantastic choice for a lighthearted read-aloud that will have everyone giggling and can spark goofy conversations about imagination and the comfort of home.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book contains no sensitive topics. The concept of a body part running away is handled in a completely fantastical and metaphorical manner, similar to a runaway toy or pet. The resolution is secure, happy, and affirming.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a child aged 4-7 with a strong sense of the absurd and a love for silly "what if" scenarios. It's perfect for a child who is beginning to express a desire for independence but in a playful, imaginative context, rather than a rebellious one. It will delight kids who find humor in unexpected situations.
