What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no sensitive topics in this book. Its content is straightforward and objective.
Ideal Reader
An infant (0-12 months) whose developing eyes will benefit from the book's likely use of bold, high contrast images. Also, a toddler (1-3 years old) who is learning new words and can begin to connect pictures to real world places, especially one living in or near D.C. or whose family is planning a visit.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This is a very straightforward point and say book. For an older toddler, a parent might want to think of a simple, one sentence description for each landmark (e.g., "This is where the president lives," or "This is where laws are made"). A parent is planning a trip to Washington, D.C. and wants to familiarize their toddler with the sights. Or, they are looking for a first social studies or geography book for their baby that moves beyond farm animals and colors. They want to encourage early vocabulary with real life nouns.
