About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their curious child is full of questions about animals, often repeating wild "facts" they've heard from friends or seen in cartoons. "Animal Fact/Animal Fable" is a perfect tool for channeling that curiosity into critical thinking. Each section presents a common belief about an animal (like bats being blind) and then clearly explains the science behind why it's either a fact or a fable. It empowers children with real knowledge, boosting their confidence as they learn to question claims and seek evidence. For ages 7-10, it’s an engaging way to introduce scientific literacy while satisfying a love for the animal kingdom.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book discusses natural animal behaviors, including predator and prey dynamics, defense mechanisms, and, in the case of the lemming myth, the concept of accidental mass death. The approach is entirely scientific, secular, and matter-of-fact. It avoids personification and emotional language, presenting these topics as aspects of biology and survival. The resolution to each question is one of factual clarity.
