I've been a long-time Kharms fan & was delighted to find this book. I immediately sat down on the floor to read the whole thing & laughed and laughed. I bought it for my one-year-old niece, who is certainly too young to appreciate it -- but hopefully will develop to appreciate this lovely little nugget.The humor may not be for the un-funny, so I'd advise you to look up some Kharms excerpts (there's plenty free on the internet) first to see if it's too your tastes.
