Say What?

Sukie and her brothers have a problem. Instead of the normal 'mom and dad' lectures that they normally get when doing something they know they shouldn't be doing, their parents are telling them random things, such as "Don't pick your nose" when Sukie was expecting "Don't eat your peas with your fingers!". After a sibling council, Reed decides to play spy and find out what's going on. After overhearing a parental conversation about their odd behavior, Sukie, Reed and Brian decide to turn the tables on their 'sneaky' parents and say random things back to them.

I'm not familiar with this one... is it a Haddix book, as well? Is it written for younger readers? Would it be suitable as a read-aloud?

This was a Battle of the Books book last year. The kids loved it. It would be a great read aloud for 2nd or 3rd grade.
