What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
Potential topics include sports-related injuries and on-ice fights. These are handled in a direct, factual, and secular manner, typical of sports reporting. The focus is on the event's significance within the game, not on graphic detail or emotional trauma. The resolution is simply the recording of a historical sports fact.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is an 8 to 12 year old who is a passionate hockey fan. This child loves statistics, debating who is the 'greatest of all time', and absorbing trivia. It is also an excellent fit for a reluctant reader who is deeply invested in sports but resistant to traditional narrative books.
