What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
Nature books for this age can sometimes include depictions of the food chain (predator and prey) that may be startling to sensitive children. While likely not graphic, it could contain images of a predator hunting or a snake swallowing an animal. The approach is secular and factual, presenting these as a normal part of the natural world. The resolution is simply a statement of fact, not an emotional journey.
Ideal Reader
A curious, highly visual 4 to 6-year-old who is just starting to ask big questions about the world. This child may not be a strong reader yet but loves looking at pictures and learning the names for things. It's also excellent for a child who prefers facts over stories and enjoys collecting information.
