What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and direct. It discusses predation and survival (nature red in tooth and claw) but does so in an educational, age-appropriate manner that focuses on the skill rather than the gore of the hunt. The tone is objective and celebratory.
Ideal Reader
A first-grader who loves "The Avengers" or "Spider-Man" but struggles to sit still for traditional science textbooks. This child enjoys identifying with powerful figures and is looking for ways to see "magic" in their own backyard.
