What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely positive, secular, and focuses on gentle, happy moments. It is free of any sensitive or complex topics.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a child aged 6 months to 3 years. It is particularly perfect for a toddler who lives with a dog and is beginning to make connections between their own actions and the pet's. It's also excellent for any young child developing early vocabulary and an interest in photographic images.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. The concept is immediately understandable, and the text is minimal. A parent can simply open and share the experience with their child, pointing and naming what they see. A parent has just noticed their toddler pointing at the family dog and then at themselves, trying to communicate a shared experience. Or, a parent is looking for a first book that is simple, durable, and uses real photos instead of illustrations to help their baby connect books to the real world.
