For children ages 4 to 7, it's a comforting and empowering story that shows how working together can solve even big, scary problems.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The core sensitive topic is the mild peril of the lost animals. The fear of loss is present but is handled metaphorically and very gently. The narrative focuses almost immediately on the solution rather than dwelling on the danger. The resolution is swift, completely hopeful, and secular.
