What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no sensitive topics in this book. It is purely lighthearted and humorous.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 3-year-old who is actively learning to count and loves dogs. This child enjoys rhythmic, sing-song books and finds physical comedy (like animals squished in a car) hilarious. It is also perfect for a wiggly toddler who responds well to a strong beat and repetition during story time.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is straightforward and can be read cold. Parents can enhance the experience by pointing out the numbers on the pages and encouraging the child to count along. A parent has noticed their child's burgeoning interest in numbers or their love for animals, especially dogs. They are looking for a fun, engaging book that can reinforce counting skills in a playful, low-pressure way. The trigger is the desire for a purely fun educational tool.
