What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and scientific in its approach. It does not dwell on the harsh realities of the food chain or environmental threats, focusing instead on the awe-inspiring physical attributes of the animals. It is a safe, gentle introduction to biology.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who is currently in a 'collector' phase of learning: someone who loves to name every animal they see and is beginning to categorize the world into groups like 'swimmers,' 'jumpers,' or 'big and small.'
