What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's approach is secular and informational. It focuses on positive aspects of farming like growth and animal care. It likely handles the topic of animals for meat very gently or avoids it altogether, focusing instead on products like milk, eggs, and wool. The resolution is not narrative but informational, leaving the reader with a greater understanding of the topic.
Ideal Reader
A curious 6-year-old who loves learning how things work. This child is interested in big machines, animals, or food, and has just started connecting the items in the grocery store to an outside world they don't yet understand. It is also excellent for a city-dwelling child with limited exposure to agriculture.
