And that is something Jake could never fake…
Any way you cut it, there isn’t a lot of seriousness here. Authors Robinson and Mansbach really know how to tickle a kid’s funny-bone with a story of a school full of chaos that masquerades as creativity, and a boy who takes full advantage of it. Even Jake’s teachers and friends will make your child LOL because of their totally natural but totally weird personalities. Of course, there’s a subtle lesson here, too: Jake’s experiences teach your kids that being themselves is always correct, and that everybody has something they do best.
