What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book handles biological topics with a direct, scientific, and secular approach. It includes predator/prey dynamics, the food chain, digestion (which involves eating other animals), and reproduction. Some illustrations may show animals hunting or eating, and there are diagrams of internal organs and skeletons. The treatment is factual and educational, not sensationalized, but could be sensitive for very young or squeamish readers. The resolution of these topics is one of scientific understanding.
