- Reading
- Try a page or two together first, then let your child decide whether to continue. Pausing to enjoy the rhymes or illustrations may suit a read-aloud better than rushing through.
- Themes
- Body-centred humour: A boy notices a large crack in his butt and looks for a replacement. The premise uses an unexpected bodily feature as the comic problem, but the story's fuller treatment is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The central joke involves a large crack in a boy's butt and fanciful replacement ideas. Consider whether this kind of body-centred silliness suits your family's humour.
