This book would be great for the older children in elementary school. Most of them like discusting things and a severed toe is discusting. I like the idea of having children creating their own fair because it allows them to show who they are and how creative they can be. The kids in the story are very creative for coming up with a booth to show a severed toe. It was an easy chapter book and would be great for third and fourth graders. I would use this book in my classroom to show the children to always use their minds when it comes to projects because most of the time it is the parents who come up with ideas.
