What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses predation by differentiating between carnivores (meat-eaters) and herbivores (plant-eaters). This is handled in a direct, scientific, and non-graphic manner. There are images of carnivores with open mouths and large teeth, but no depictions of hunting, violence, or death. The topic of extinction may be mentioned briefly but is not an emotional focus.
