What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book takes a purely scientific and observational approach. While it mentions the bears are carnivores with sharp teeth for cutting meat, it is presented as a biological fact rather than a graphic depiction of hunting.
Ideal Reader
A 3 or 4-year-old who is obsessed with animals and loves to memorize facts. This is for the child who wants to know "why" and "how" things work in nature and enjoys looking at realistic photography.
