What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
N/A. The book is a gentle and straightforward depiction of animal life with no sensitive topics.
Ideal Reader
A 1 to 2-year-old who is beginning to recognize animals and enjoys pointing at pictures. It's a perfect 'first' nonfiction book for a child who is curious about the natural world but needs very simple concepts and a durable format. It would also appeal to a 3-year-old learning about arctic animals.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is self-contained and can be read cold. A parent can enhance the experience by adding their own penguin sounds or encouraging the child to waddle around after the story.

The parent wants a very simple, age-appropriate book to nurture that specific interest.
