What Parents Should Know

Scary ScenesMild

Brief photos of bats and dark environments might be slightly spooky for very sensitive children.

Sensitive Topics

The book is entirely secular and scientific. It briefly touches on hunting in the context of animal survival, but does so in a clinical, non-graphic manner. There are no mentions of disability, death, or social issues.

Ideal Reader

A second or third grader who is obsessed with 'animal superpowers' or a child who feels a bit nervous about the dark and might find comfort in learning how the darkness is actually full of life and navigated by amazing tools.
