For: readers looking for a funny book.

Possible red flags: lack of manners, sharing, and other such niceties.

I will pass on this series. Others may be okay with it but I feel like we are living in a time with too much name calling and being rude and the "bad Jack" theme was just not funny to me.

I think this is just really a series that you have to take your grownup hat off to read. I'll be interested to see what kids think!

someone from the audience: will Jack ever learn to be good?
Mac: ...no.

Huh. The pictures are really cute, but literally all of these characters are assholes. Jack is an annoying jerk who treats people (and aliens). His earth-bound old lady friend is also a jerk! I'm not sure I would want a child to read this. Why would you want a child to read about these assholes?! Elephant & Piggie this is not! Give it a miss.
