What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on basic animal identification and vocalization in a safe, bright environment.
Ideal Reader
A two year old who is currently obsessed with pointing at things in the backyard or at the park. It is for the child who is just beginning to realize that every creature has its own unique 'voice.'
Parent Prep
This book is best read with enthusiasm. Parents should be prepared to make silly noises and wait for the child to respond. No specific context or heavy lifting is required. A parent who notices their child is starting to babble with intent or mimic household noises (like a vacuum or a car) will find this is the perfect tool to channel that energy into vocabulary.
