What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and clinical in its approach to nature. It briefly touches on the food chain (predator and prey dynamics), but the approach is direct and factual rather than graphic. There are no mentions of whaling or environmental crises, keeping the focus on the animals themselves.
