What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and direct. It touches upon the cycle of life and predation in the ocean, but does so in a matter-of-fact, scientific way that focuses on the balance of nature. There are no distressing scenes of animal death, but rather an explanation of the food chain.
