What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely secular, whimsical, and safe exploration of play.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old who is beginning to master object permanence and loves to feel like an active participant in storytime. It is also excellent for a child who may be intimidated by longer narratives and finds comfort in repetitive, interactive play patterns.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. The flaps are sturdy, but for a brand-new copy, a parent might want to pre-bend the creases so they are easier for a toddler to lift on the first pass. A parent might reach for this after seeing their child struggle with frustration during more complex games, or when they notice the child is particularly drawn to tactile objects and 'sparkly' visual stimuli.
