Set in rhyming verse and accompanied by humorous cartoon-style drawings, the book tells a story about a lively, active, and thoroughly normal young boy. The doctor who is consulted about Jonathan’s behavior, writes his prescription, starting with, “I’m afraid that I have to report that your son Is a normal small boy, full of mischief and fun. He’s messy, he’s noisy, he whines, and he’s rude; He’s a pain in the neck about sleeping and food.”.
