Not so sure about the message the author want to past it. Was it to accept kids with a lot of energy? What is more about self confidence? Power of imagination? It touch a bit at everything and offer a fun adventure, even if the message/morale of it seem a bit foggy to me. I would also add a little moderation about the tendency of this book, at least it felt that way to me, of over encouraging everything the kid does. I'm all about encouraging kid, but you have to be careful not spoiled them, its not because our are a kid that everything you do is always awesome and marvelous.
