What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular and entirely focused on a routine family activity.
Ideal Reader
A three or four year old who is observant and perhaps a bit cautious about new environments. It is perfect for a child who loves 'process' stories (how things work and in what order) and who has a special bond with a father figure.
