What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches on natural predation and defense. It depicts ants fighting rival colonies or insects and being prey for other animals (like anteaters). The approach is scientific and matter of fact, presenting these events as part of the natural life cycle. It is a secular, biological perspective. The "resolution" is an understanding of the balance of nature.
