My 10 yo daughter read this without comment- her interest in the book probably stemmed from a deep love of babies. There is a bit of time spent with the babies and some more thoughtful discussions among them that one would normally expect. :-P The talking babies add a nice touch of surrealism, as does the re-knowing that Obee and Mungedeech go through as pre-teens. Even without the touch of surrealism, the subject of being your own best friend and really knowing yourself is an important one for people this age. They are starting to have the urge to follow their peers and not be true to themselves- any book that effectively contradicts that message is good to get into their hands.
