What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and focuses on the positive aspects of nature. There are no depictions of the harsher realities of the wild, such as predation or death. The approach is consistently bright and hopeful.
Ideal Reader
A first or second grader who is a budding 'backyard scientist.' This is for the child who collects interesting rocks, points out every bird they see, and enjoys learning facts but still loves the musicality of a read-aloud poem.
