Griffiths’ books are also described as being “transitional material for children between 7 and 10 years old”, particularly due to his use of “child-safe humour” through the recurrence of fart jokes and silly puns, and fewer illustrations than many children’s books.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JzUqAAAAIBAJ&dq=%22Just%21%22+andy+griffiths&pg=PA23 |title=Park City Daily News |publisher=Park City Daily News |language=en}}</ref>
