As a reader this book is very cute and I would imagine many young children would enjoy having this read aloud to them. The new kid in town, who many children may be able to relate to, warns his new classmates about not building a Frankenstein. He tells them all the things that Frankensteins do and why not to build them, and then discovers that his followed him to his new home. It is a cute story many readers would enjoy.
As a teacher this book could be used to teach about responsibility. The boy in the story had to move homes, and discovered the hard way that you must be responsible for your actions because things may follow you, no matter where you move. His Frankenstein was his responsibility, and this could be a cute way to teach children about their own responsibility. Some questions to ask the class might be: why did he build the Frankenstein in the first place? Should he take responsibility for his creations? Why does he go back with the Frankenstein in the end?
