What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and scientific. It briefly touches on the predator-prey relationship, which is handled in a direct, factual manner without being overly graphic. The environmental message regarding habitat loss is realistic but focuses more on the beauty of what exists rather than the tragedy of what is lost.
