What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with natural predation. This is approached directly and scientifically, showing the eagle as a hunter in its ecosystem. Any depictions of hunting (e.g., an eagle catching a fish) are factual and not intended to be frightening or gory. The presentation is secular and educational.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 6- to 8-year-old who loves facts and is beginning to read independently. This child is drawn to nonfiction, enjoys learning about animals, and wants clear, digestible information paired with exciting photographs. They are likely a fan of the National Geographic Kids or Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.
