this book is innappropriate for most children. this book tells exactly what crime the father commited, but never says that it was wrong and that the father was being punished for doing wrong. it portrays prison as being one picnic after another. in my opinion this book is not suitable for a parent whom is looking for a way to explain that a parent commited a crime and is being punished for it, but that the parent loves the child and wants the child to follow the rules of the world so that the child does not follow in their footsteps.
