What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular, direct, and factual in its approach to nature and farming.
Ideal Reader
A four or five-year-old who is about to go on an autumn field trip. It is also excellent for a child who is a 'literal learner' and prefers real-world photographs over illustrations to understand new environments.
