- Reading
- If reading together, pause at the H-word glossary to explore unfamiliar terms, then invite the reader to choose which words best fit the story’s comic moments.
- Themes
- Trying new hobbies: Jack and Bee get Aldo to try unusual hobbies as he looks for more interest in a humdrum January. The overview presents the attempts as part of a humorous plot, but does not establish a broader judgement about boredom or trying new things.
- Risk on the ski slopes: Aldo, described as unathletic, agrees to ski with his superjock brother and hotdogging proves hazardous. The outline signals danger, but does not show whether the story criticises, rewards or otherwise frames Aldo’s stunt.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to violence and harm.
