I did not know the author, I was first attracted by the title. Finally a children's book with humor and an owl illustration. Also out of the "traditional" stories and political correctness. With my 7 year old son, we read it in one sitting, laughing almost every page so it is seen. The book has also opened discussions on the education he received and other things (he took advantage of an anecdote on the subject to ask me to stop kissing him in front of the school gate "because it's shame "... At least it is said :) Finally, he who has a bit of trouble reading is having a field day. He read the book with pleasure and regularly returns to his favorite pages. In short, I really recommend!
