What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. The potential 'danger' of melting is handled through fantasy and play rather than genuine peril.
Ideal Reader
A 4-year-old with a vivid imaginary friend who is currently obsessed with 'Frozen' or winter, yet finds themselves in the middle of a summer heatwave and needs a way to bridge those two worlds.
