What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book may touch upon predator and prey dynamics (e.g., lions hunting ostriches) as a natural part of the animal's life. This is handled in a direct, scientific, and secular manner. It is not graphic or emotionally charged, focusing on the facts of survival in the wild.
Ideal Reader
This book is perfect for an early elementary student (ages 6-8) who is just beginning to read non-fiction independently. It's for the child who prefers facts to fantasy, loves spouting animal trivia, or is doing their very first school report on an animal. It's also great for a child who recently visited a zoo and is now obsessed with a specific creature.
