What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and focuses on the beauty of the natural world. There are no depictions of predation or the harsher realities of survival, keeping the tone light and celebratory. It avoids complex environmental politics, focusing instead on pure appreciation.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or kindergartner who is an 'animal expert' in the making. This child likely has a bedroom full of plastic animal figures and loves to share 'fun facts' with adults. It is also excellent for a child who feels a bit intimidated by the 'scary' parts of nature documentaries and needs a friendlier entry point.
