What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a straightforward, secular, and factual concept book. It contains no narrative or characters dealing with sensitive life issues.
Ideal Reader
A 2 to 4-year-old who is in the 'naming explosion' phase of language development. This child is fascinated by vehicles, animals, and the mechanics of the world, constantly pointing and asking, 'What's that?' It’s perfect for a pre-reader who benefits from clear picture-to-word association.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed; this book can be read cold. Parents should be ready to engage, make sound effects for the different items, and answer simple 'how' or 'why' questions that the images might inspire in their child. The parent's toddler stops on the sidewalk to watch every single garbage truck, bus, or cement mixer that passes. The child's play is filled with 'vroom' and 'beep beep' sounds. The parent wants a screen-free way to channel this intense interest into a vocabulary-building, pre-literacy activity.
