What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book takes a purely educational and celebratory approach to wildlife. There are no depictions of predation or the harsher realities of the food chain, making it safe for very sensitive children.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who loves carrying around plastic animal figurines and wants to know "what is that called?" and "where does it live?" It is also great for a child preparing for a family trip to the Pacific Northwest or Alaska.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents might want to have a globe or map handy to show where Alaska is located in relation to their home. A parent might reach for this after their child sees a nature documentary or a specific animal at the zoo and begins asking follow-up questions about cold climates or wild habitats.
