What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book focuses on survival in the wild, which includes hunting and predation. This is presented factually and without graphic detail. For example, the coyote and badger hunt ground squirrels, and the crocodile has sharp teeth. The focus is always on the cleverness of the partnership, not the violence of the hunt. The approach is entirely secular and scientific.
