What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular and focused entirely on physical geography and earth science. It avoids the human impact of natural disasters, focusing instead on the scientific attributes of the locations.
Ideal Reader
A first or second grader who loves sharing trivia and is beginning to show interest in maps or science documentaries. This is the child who wants to know the 'right answer' and enjoys comparing sizes and numbers.
