What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This is a secular, straightforward presentation of school. There are no mentions of separation anxiety or crying, which makes it a purely positive reinforcement tool rather than a book that explores difficult emotions. It is entirely safe for all audiences.
Ideal Reader
A three year old who is observant and slightly cautious, needing to know exactly where the bathroom is or what they will eat before they feel comfortable in a new environment. It is also great for kids who love 'objects' and 'processes.'
