I believe I have read a metaphor for childhood. Tantrums, stinky sock piles, big screen cartoons and herds of wild bicycles -all to take at will with no one there to slow you down or stop the fun until the day things change and Jack knows he is going.

A book for a very specific reader. I am not sure which of my students would appreciate this story about Jack's last day in Hokey Pokey, his relationship with the Girl and his two Amigos.
