PJ Funnybunny's sister and her friend play a trick on the boys in the end, but there is nothing in the story that says girls CAN camp. Also, PJ has a friend named Potts who is a pig. In the story, Potts is responsible for packing the food, and he eats it all before they get to the campsite. I think it perpetuates a harmful stereotype to imply that overweight kids can't be trusted with the food. Overall, a cute, simple story, but not one I would teach in my classroom. Show Less
