force.

They usually got caught or beaten up. But if
they use brain first, there will be no problem
getting away from him.

short. (Examples in the book)
This book has a font that are usually in
comic books and children books. (Examples

The size of the fonts are not too small and
not too big for children. But onomatopoeia is
a little bigger than more text to have some

Method of Moving
the Reader to the Next Page
In this book, the author uses question marks at
the end of each page. The children will want
to know badly what happens next. If it keep
making children turn the page, the children
will not stop in the middle of the book and
finish it.
My Overall Opinion
I think this book is very suitable to 5-6 years old
children. The book is not very violent, doesn't
teaches bad things but teaches them a
lesson. Also, the book has pictures, short
sentences, rhyming words, etc and children
just love pictures.
