What Parents Need to Know
About Lyle and the Birthday Party
Parents need to know that a birthday party, jealous feelings, and a trip to the hospital all rolled into one appeals to kids, but the story is a bit preachy, and the art is not quite as consistently detailed or charming as in previous books in the series.
Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about hospital stays and what they might entail. Why might you be scared to be a patient? What can you do to calm those fears? What can the doctors and nurses (and your parents) do to help you feel better?
