What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The central conflict is extremely low stakes (a minor mess) and is resolved with a simple apology and forgiveness. The approach is secular and focuses on the social-emotional skills of honesty and taking responsibility.
Ideal Reader
A 5 or 6-year-old who is just beginning to read independently and loves games like 'I Spy'. It's particularly well-suited for a child who enjoys feeling smart and solving puzzles. It can also be a gentle tool for a child who has recently struggled with telling the truth about a small accident.
