“There are few kid’s books out there that I find legitimately funny. A lot of cute ones, sure. A lot that make me say, “Oh, that’s funny.” But not that many that make me actually laugh. Seriously, chuckling to myself on an outdoor patio.
It made me laugh, and when I read the first few pages to a group of 5th graders, they laughed too. Granted, I have the emotional range of a 5th grader, so it’s not a perfect test, but I think it still says SOMETHING.
If you’re reading chapter books out loud to your kid, or just A kid, I guess. I mean, I’m not going to tell you how to live your life. Probably not the best idea to go around reading books aloud to strange children, but that’s just my opinion. If you ARE reading aloud, though, this is the perfect book. Just try not to make J.Lo’s voice TOO hilarious. It’s quite the performance to keep up.”
