What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book discusses animal reproduction in a very gentle, scientific, and age-appropriate way. It mentions eggs, pouches, and live birth. A factual note about spiders mentions that the mother may die after her young hatch, which could be a point of sensitivity. The approach is factual and not emotional. The inclusion of humans at the end provides a familiar, gentle conclusion.
Ideal Reader
A curious 4 to 6 year old who is starting to ask questions about babies and where they come from. It is also great for a young animal enthusiast who loves learning new facts and scientific names for baby animals. It serves as a gentle, nature-based 'first talk' about reproduction.
