What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This book is a straightforward and positive introduction to animals.
Ideal Reader
A 2- or 3-year-old who is just beginning to learn animal names and sounds. This child is likely pointing at animals in their environment (on walks, in other books) and is ready for a book that simply names and shows them. It's also suitable for a slightly older child (age 4) who is considering a first pet and needs the most basic of introductions.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. A parent might enhance the experience by being ready to make animal sounds or talk about pets that friends or family members have. A parent has noticed their child's excitement about pets. The child might have said, "Look, a doggy!" on a walk, or asked for the first time, "Can we get a kitty?" This book serves as the perfect, simple response to that initial spark of interest.
