What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book takes a secular, scientific approach. While it mentions diets (carnivores vs. herbivores), the depictions are clinical and educational rather than graphic. Extinction is handled as a matter of historical fact without dwelling on the morbidity of death.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or kindergartner who is beginning to seek out facts over fiction. It is perfect for the child who enjoys memorizing long names and wants to feel like an expert in a specific field to gain a sense of big kid status.
