What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

None. The book is a straightforward educational tool with no sensitive content.

Ideal Reader

A 2-4 year old who is very physically active and just beginning to connect their movements to language. It's perfect for a child who loves to climb, hide, and explore, or for a child in speech therapy working on prepositions. It's also an excellent resource for a Pre-K or early childhood classroom library.

Parent Prep

No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. The experience is enhanced when a parent encourages the child to act out the words or find examples in the room around them after reading. A parent has just watched their toddler spend ten minutes crawling in and out of a large cardboard box, or climbing over every couch cushion. They realize their child is exploring spatial relationships and want a book to help name these new concepts.
