What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book takes a direct, secular, and scientific approach. It discusses survival and the food chain in a matter-of-fact way that is typical for educational nature texts. There is no graphic violence or distressing content, though the concept of predators is mentioned as a reality of the wild.
Ideal Reader
An elementary-aged child (1st to 3rd grade) who is moving into independent reading and prefers facts over fiction. It is also excellent for a student working on a first science report about North American wildlife.
