What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book handles the reality of the food chain in a direct but age-appropriate manner. Predator-prey relationships are described factually without being graphic or overly emotional. The approach is entirely secular and scientific.
Ideal Reader
An early elementary student who loves 'did you know' facts and prefers looking at real-life photos over cartoons. It is particularly great for a child who may be intimidated by long blocks of text but is highly motivated by the subject of animals.
