What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is designed to be universally safe, comforting, and positive.
Ideal Reader
A child aged 6 to 24 months. Specifically, a baby who is just beginning to focus on images, point, and mimic sounds, or a toddler who is in the midst of a language explosion and loves naming things they recognize.
Parent Prep
No prep needed. This book can be read cold. The parent can enhance the experience by making the animal sounds enthusiastically or connecting the pictures to the child's own life (e.g., 'That looks like Grandma's cat!'). The parent sees their child's eyes light up when the dog walks into the room or hears them babble excitedly at a squirrel outside. The parent wants a tool to help name this new interest and share a moment of focused discovery with their child.
