I like that the book has basically a chapter and a picture on every page. Makes for easy reading for kids. But while it’s entertaining, the overall moral of the story seems to be that if you disobey your parents and teachers, you’ll have great fun, and the benefits will far outweigh any minor consequences you might get.

Even with how this book is, it still shows a good coming of age story about a country boy, even if some of the saying and story as a whole has aged quite a bit.
