What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and scientific. It discusses predation and carnivory in a matter-of-fact way. There is no gore, though the reality of 'predator vs. prey' is the central biological theme.
Ideal Reader
An elementary student (grades 1-3) who has a 'special interest' in paleontology. This child likely enjoys organizing facts, comparing statistics, and using scientific terminology correctly.
