I haven't been the hugest fan of these Jack books before, but this particular title was very amusing. I really appreciated how the illustrations of the video game are pixelated and are clearly an homage to Mario Bros, making them easily recognizable to readers of all ages. Also, the Lady jumping in to save Jack from the game and progressing from not great at navigating the controller even to beating the game to becoming addicted to gaming is both relatable and hilarious.
The repetition of many words and phrases make this book relatively easy for beginning readers. The repeated line of "then Jack does a dance" after every successful gaming move was especially funny. The seven short chapters will make young readers feel accomplished with having read a "long" book, even though it is fact not terribly lengthy.
I still don't quite understand the relationship between Lady and Jack, or why Rex seems like a pet and Jack seems like a child -- or at least anthropomorphized to some extent, although he doesn't quite seem to talk. There's also an unnamed narrator who seems to be somewhere between speaking to the reader and speaking to the characters ...
Nevertheless, I did enjoy this title and find it a funny and unproblematic book to share with young readers. ( )
