Love this fun tale and the use of text/font to tell the story as well as the quirky twists. I could definitely see this as a fun readaloud that children would love giggling over.

This book really took us by surprise and made us laugh out loud! My 4-year old girl made me read it four times in a row. :)

Just not my kind if humor I guess. Though I did find the surprise ending worth a chuckle.

A little gross and super funny. I think I have to do this at family story time.

This book is all about how sometimes your "conscience" won't leave you alone. I laughed at loud and I enjoyed every page. I think it's a hard sell depending on the age group--there are a lot of words on the page. Readers may not mind though since it's such funny subject material. I'd recommend it.

For: readers wanting a silly book that's also about doing the right thing.

Possible red flags: stealing; references to going poo.

We just got this book into the library where I work and it is even more hilarious than it looks! Definitely adding it as a new favourite children's book.
