Mild PerilMild

Depicts natural predator and prey interactions as part of the ecosystem's food chain.

Sensitive Topics

The book depicts the natural food chain and predator-prey relationships in a direct, scientific, and secular manner. For example, it may show a dragonfly nymph eating a tadpole or a bird catching a fish. These moments are presented as part of the natural cycle of life, not as emotionally charged events. The resolution is simply the continuation of life in the pond.
