What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular and presents a straightforward, universally positive narrative about family love and sensory discovery. There are no sensitive topics addressed.
Ideal Reader
A toddler (1-3 years old) who is beginning to notice and name things in their environment. It is perfect for a child who enjoys pointing out objects on walks and for a parent, especially a father, looking to create a simple, loving, and interactive reading routine.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The concepts are simple and the text is direct. A parent can read it cold. To enrich the experience, a parent can pause to talk about each sense and connect it to the child's own life. A parent has noticed their toddler becoming more aware of the world, pointing at birds, dogs, or flowers on a walk. Alternatively, a father is actively seeking out books that specifically depict an engaged and loving dad to share with his child.
