I am a big fan of Stephen Colbert, but this book is a bit baffling to me. Although it is written as a children's book, it is not *really* for kids.
I made the mistake of not reading the entire book beforehand prior to reading it to my 3 year-old niece, and ended up having to skip over the page about the stripper pole, with the accompanying illustration.
There is also a reference to being "strung out" (the implication being on drugs, though the context has to do with telephone poles).
It's not a bad book, it's sort of fun - it won't ruin any kids or anything like that. But it's for adults, really.
