What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches on potential animal neglect, but it is handled very gently. The owner is portrayed as ignorant and misguided rather than intentionally cruel. The approach is secular, and the resolution is hopeful and educational. There are no other major sensitive topics like death, divorce, or violence.
