What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward and secular science title. The photographs are realistic close-ups, but are unlikely to be frightening to most children.
Ideal Reader
A curious 4 to 6-year-old who has recently become fascinated with the insects they see in the park or their garden. This child is in a phase of asking constant questions and is ready for simple, factual answers about the natural world. It's for the budding scientist who enjoys observing things up close.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is self-contained and the concepts are presented very simply. It can be read cold. A parent could enhance the experience by having a magnifying glass ready for a post-reading bug hunt in the yard to apply the new knowledge. The parent's child points to an ant and asks, "Why doesn't that bug have wings like the bee?" or simply floods the parent with a series of bug-related questions the parent can't confidently answer. The child is showing an intense, specific curiosity about insects.
