What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
Concepts of predation are present, as is common in nature books. For example, camouflage is explained as a way to hide from bigger fish that want to eat them. The treatment is direct, scientific, and not at all graphic or scary. There is no depiction of death or violence.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a curious preschooler or kindergartener who loves facts and animals. It is perfect for a visual learner who is drawn to photography and has a budding interest in science and the ocean. It's a great fit for a child who enjoys nature documentaries or visits to the aquarium and wants to know the 'what' and 'why' of different creatures.
