What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and entirely positive. It avoids heavy topics, focusing instead on the secure attachment between a pet and its family, which serves as a proxy for the child's own security.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old child who is beginning to identify individual family members and is learning about the different ways people express affection. It is particularly effective for a child who may be feeling 'lost in the shuffle' of a busy household.
