What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book discusses predation and the carnivorous nature of piranhas. The approach is direct and secular, framing these behaviors as essential parts of an ecosystem rather than frightening or 'evil' actions. There is no gore, but the concept of sharp teeth and hunting is central.
