What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a straightforward, secular, scientific explanation of a natural process.
Ideal Reader
A 4-year-old who just pointed at a caterpillar and asked, "What's that?" or a 6-year-old learning about life cycles in kindergarten who wants more visual information. This book is for the child who is beginning to crave facts and is captivated by real-world processes.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is clear, concise, and can be read cold. A parent might want to be ready for follow-up questions or plan a nature walk to look for the things they just read about. The child finds a caterpillar in the garden, sees a monarch butterfly and asks where it came from, or brings home a worksheet from preschool about life cycles and wants to know more.
