What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches on the theme of survival in the wild. There are brief, non-graphic mentions of natural predators like crocodiles or lions. The approach is entirely secular and scientific, presenting these dangers as a factual part of the hippo's life cycle, emphasizing the mother's protective role rather than the threat itself.
