What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book presents a completely safe and idealized view of nature. There are no predators, dangers, or any form of conflict.
Ideal Reader
A 1 to 3-year-old who is beginning to learn animal names and sounds. It's also perfect for a family living in or traveling to the Rocky Mountain region, as it connects the book directly to the child's environment. It helps build excitement and context for seeing wildlife from a safe distance.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is straightforward and can be enjoyed immediately. A parent might want to practice their animal sounds ahead of time. A parent is planning a family trip to Glacier or Yellowstone National Park and wants a screen-free way to introduce their toddler to the animals they might see. Alternatively, the child has shown a budding interest in animals, and the parent wants a realistic, photo-based book rather than a cartoonish one.
