What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses the natural predator and prey cycle. It mentions that some dinosaurs would eat the eggs or young of other dinosaurs. This is handled in a direct, scientific, and non-sensationalized manner. The approach is entirely secular, focusing on fossil evidence and biological interpretation. There are no depictions of death, just the discussion of it as a natural risk for young animals.
