What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely secular, straightforward introduction to animal identification. It avoids topics of slaughter, predators, or the industrial side of farming, focusing entirely on the animals as living creatures.
Ideal Reader
A four-year-old who is obsessed with 'Old MacDonald' and wants to see what the animals actually look like, or a six-year-old beginning reader who needs a high-success book to build confidence with sight words.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. It is very simple. Parents might want to prepare a few 'animal sounds' to make the reading more interactive for younger toddlers. A child pointing at a picture in a different book and asking, 'Is that a real cow?' or a child expressing a desire to learn more about the outdoors.
