What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular, direct, and focuses entirely on animal science and nature. The tone is consistently upbeat and educational.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who carries an animal encyclopedia everywhere or a kindergarten student who just had their first field trip to a farm. It is perfect for the child who prefers facts over fantasy and likes to share 'did you know?' tidbits with adults.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. It is very straightforward. Parents might want to have a tablet or phone nearby to show a video of a llama making a sound or walking to complement the text. A child pointing at a llama or alpaca and asking, 'What is that and what does it do?' This book is the direct answer to that specific moment of inquiry.
