For: fans of picture books and picture book tropes; readers wanting a humorous book.

Possible red flags: being snippy/rude; confusion.

This was a really cute story that challenge's reader's assumptions of how stories are told and how books work. These types of books are a really fun way for new readers to incorporate their imaginations and really engage with a story.
However, I don't think this is one that I would typically read aloud to others. This might work in a 1:1 setting but with so many characters and so much dialogue I could see myself getting winded quickly.
I would still absolutely recommend this book to emerging readers

Solid "out of the box" meta book. Love it for 2nd & 3rd graders!
