I am a 21 year old male and just recently became a new father, I enjoyed reading this book when I was a child and I'm sure my son will enjoy this when he grows up. This book is simple to read and understand, Marvin is being asked politely, to please go now! Marvin is not forced to go and it will give the child ways to think about leaving. not just simply walking, but letting them think of other ways to simply go now!
