It's nice that the author was able to reminisce about his childhood, but we should probably leave this book in the past.

My whole family enjoyed this book, me (34F), my husband (36M), our daughter (9F) and our son (6M). We listened to it on Audible on road trips. I read this book as a kid also and loved it then.
