Miles Is the Boss of His Body by Abbie Schiller

I'm six years old and I'm the boss of my body!' Then he stomps off to his room and shuts the door. Miles flips out and screams, 'Everybody! Cut! It! Out!!!' Then he tells his family, 'I'm tired of being. The guy who finally delivers the pizza pats him on the head, which is the last straw. There's a guy in a chicken suit that comes to wish him happy birthday who wants to tickle him and he doesn't like tickling. His little brother holds on to his shirt so he can't move and he doesn't like that. His mother squeezes him too tight and he doesn't like that. His older brother gives him a noogie and he doesn't like that. His grandpa pinches his cheeks and he doesn't like that. A little boy named Miles is having his 6th birthday.

It spends so much time setting up what the problem is that the resolution is more deus ex machina and rather anticlimactic. On the other hand, I was kind of disappointed by this book. And I can definitely see a child using it as an example to stand up for themselves, so it needs to be placed in the 'good' category. On one hand, I'm glad it exists and we need more books like it. In a colorful, comic-book style, young kids will laugh while learning this potentially life-saving concept that can benefit them for years to come.I'm really torn on this one. On his 6th birthday, Miles' excitement is dimmed when he finds himself being pinched, noogied, hugged too tight, picked up and tickled by his well-intentioned family and decides he's had enough When Miles decrees that he is the 'Boss of his body,' his whole family expresses support and respect for his personal boundaries. The latest installment in The Mother Company's award-winning 'MILES' series, Miles Is The Boss Of His Body is a fun, engaging way to explore the potentially difficult topic of kids' personal safety.
