Those can be divided into two areas, romance and magic. My concern in reading this with my daughter were the more subtle and steady messages throughout the book.
These all are very minor incidents in the story one could easily read and miss them entirely. There is also a holiday where alcohol is widely available and it implied that women are playfully and desirably pursued in the festive atmosphere. One of the main characters does get smashingly drunk, the ill-effects the morning after does, however, serve as a minor warning to young readers. The few violent scenes are cartoon-like in that they only vaguely describe injury or are more slapstick in nature.
There are few expletives (d-, thrice) and a moderate number of assorted euphemisms. On the face of it, it seems appropriate for middle-to-late elementary school-age children. As other reviewers have noted, this is a light-hearted, whimsical, meandering fantasy tale.
