What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a light, commercial tie-in story focused on friendship and simple problem-solving. The approach is entirely secular and without any metaphorical depth concerning sensitive life issues.

A 5 to 7-year-old who is deeply invested in the Pokémon universe (through video games, shows, or cards) and is beginning to read independently. This child may be a reluctant reader with other material but will be highly motivated by the familiar characters and world. It's a perfect book for bridging a love of media with a love of reading.
