What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focused on the logistics of shipping.
Ideal Reader
A three-year-old who waits at the window for the mail carrier or a child who has just sent a drawing to a relative and needs to understand the process of it 'traveling' through the world.
Parent Prep
The book is very straightforward and can be read cold. Parents might want to point out the address label on the first page to explain how the package 'knows' where to go. A child asking for the tenth time today, 'When will Grandma's box get here?' or a child who is fascinated by every passing mail truck.
