What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and informational. It does not deal with animal illness or death, maintaining a positive and educational tone throughout.
Ideal Reader
An 8-year-old who loves animal encyclopedias and is currently trying to convince their parents that they are mature enough to help care for a high-energy pet.
Parent Prep
This can be read cold. Parents may want to emphasize the sections on how much attention these cats need, especially if a child thinks a pet is just a stationary toy. A parent might notice their child looking up cat videos or constantly asking 'Why?' about animal behaviors. They might also hear their child expressing boredom with simple picture books and wanting 'real facts.'
