What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely informational and visual book with a cheerful tone.
Ideal Reader
An infant from 6 to 12 months who is beginning to focus on images and is drawn to high-contrast colors. Also, a toddler aged 1 to 3 who is rapidly acquiring language and enjoys point-and-say activities and making animal noises.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is self-explanatory. A parent can enhance the experience by making the corresponding animal sound for each page or by asking the child to point to the animal, but it can simply be looked at and enjoyed without context. A parent is looking for a beautiful, non-fussy "first book" for their baby's library. They've noticed their toddler is fascinated by animals, whether it's the family pet or a bird seen outside, and wants a tool to help name them.
