What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on the positive, adorable aspects of domestic animals. It avoids any mention of pet care difficulties, illness, or loss.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old who points at every dog they see in the park, or a preschooler who is nervous about dogs and needs a safe, photographic way to observe them from a distance to build confidence.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. It is a 'point and say' book that requires no prior context or heavy lifting from the caregiver. A parent might choose this after their child asks 'What's that?' while pointing at a neighbor's dog, or if the child has expressed a desire for a puppy and the parent wants to start a conversation about what different dogs look like.
