What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and safe. It avoids complex or distressing topics such as animal illness, shelters, or the loss of a pet, maintaining a purely joyful and instructional tone.
Ideal Reader
A 3-year-old who points at every dog they see on the sidewalk and is perhaps lobbying their parents for a pet of their own. It is also perfect for a child who may be a bit nervous around animals and needs a low-stakes, positive introduction to canine behavior.
