- Good role models
I personally loved this book and the entire series. It is very educational in all the situations the author explains, and the three smart and resourceful children included in this book will set positive examples for your children because of their noble and kind nature. Although it might be a little hard for children under 10 years old to understand, there certainly isn't any heavy objectionable content in "The Slippery Slope". Read it with your kids or read it by yourself, you won't regret it.
