What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on a romanticized, peaceful view of nature and animal husbandry. There is no mention of the food chain or the harsher realities of farming.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who is currently obsessed with animal sounds and movements, or a child who thrives on tactile, sensory input during storytime. It is also excellent for a child who enjoys "find-it" games, as the pop-ups offer hidden details to spot.
